Dr Khuliso Sigama of TUT’s ICT faculty joined a national panel on South Africa’s e-voting future. The discussion weighed poll-site vs online models, citing global lessons. Sigama stressed that legislation must precede rollout, and while youth familiarity and SRC e-voting efforts show promise, risks like power outages and unequal access remain. The panel agreed that efficiency, trust, and accessibility hinge on legal reform, planning, and infrastructure investment.
