An elderly woman dies after collapsing while waiting to vote at a polling station in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. According to reports, she collapsed while in the queue and her family rushed her to hospital, with one account alleging an ambulance did not arrive in time.
Other coverage adds details about the specific polling location and the response from election officials. One report says the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) investigates the circumstances after the death at Shallcross Primary School. While both outlets describe the same basic sequence—collapse in the voting area, death, and an official review—the emphasis differs between allegations about medical response and the IEC’s investigation.
