STAE spokesperson Claudio Langa said that of 5,400 mobile IDs, 3,000 are new and the others were used in 2013/14 for registration. The old equipment was sent to districts with municipalities, where most people registered last year so there would be less pressure. And as expected, turnout has been very low in those district.
Langa also explained that “the main cause of breakdowns was the generators which supplied electricity at the wrong level for the mobile IDs and which damaged the printers.”
STAE has already distributed 2000 solar panel kits and will distribute another 1000. In areas with mains electricity, STAE is also trying to create charging centres for the mobile ID batteries.
Langa also admitted that many brigade members were not wearing the proper uniform because they had not been distributed.
