Spoilt ballots stood at a staggering 207 449 in South Africa's sixth democratic polls on Friday, with KwaZulu-Natal recording the highest at 54 948 since vote counting started on Wednesday.

With over 91 percent votes having been counted nationally just after lunch, the spoilt ballots could easily translate into four seats in the National Assembly.
