💨 Abstract

Actor Tumisho Masha faced legal threats after posting a photo of his marked ballot paper on X, violating the Electoral Act. The image, taken at his voting station, showed his support for ActionSA. Despite deleting the tweet, screenshots circulated, leading to warnings from the Gauteng SAPS. The act is a criminal offense, punishable by a fine or up to one year in prison. Masha later attempted to downplay the incident.
