In total, 4 384 votes were cast, with two confiscated ballots because those voters were caught taking photographs of their ballots and they were reported to the police. Upon realising that they may end up with criminal records, they offered to revoke their voting status, said former president Kgalema Motlanthe.

According to News24's Adriaan Basson, this is a clean sweep for the Ramaphosa slate — Ramaphosa, Mantashe and Mbalula managed to consolidate enough votes to beat a disorganised Mkhize-led alliance. Ironically, it was the Mkhize's camp's disorganisation that cost them, especially the position of SG.
