X: False Allegations of Rigged South African Elections

Outcome

Overview

The complaint focuses on a series of social media posts that allege the 2024 South African National elections were rigged, claiming they were neither free nor fair.

Background & Outcome

The content is largely a setting out over irregularities which are substantiated and it does not make a "rigging" claim. Spreading disinformation by falsely accusing the commission of lacking independence and fairness, these posts unjustly malign its reputation and subject it to unwarranted scrutiny and pressure.
