The IEC said: “The electoral commission confirms it has experienced interruption in the replication of data from its national data centre and the various results operation centres.
“The data in the data centre remains intact and the results have not been compromised. All services have since been restored and the leader board is working as normal. Results processing continues unaffected.”
More than 55% of the voting had been counted by Friday morning, with the ANC leading the pack at 41.88%. The DA is second with 23.67% and the MK Party is third with 10.98%.
