eNCA had the worst coverage this time around: shaky camera work z(to the point where they had to cut the feed at times), technical errors while trying to contact their reporter on the ground, Thulasizwe Similane, who just opted to do a phone-in over the live pictures instead. Their camera barely even featured President Zuma until he entered the venue. With his post voting remarks, things didn't improve much either. One would have expected them to send among their best crew members to follow the president, I mean it's the president.

| eNCA has become very much like CNN where nearly everything this morning has been labelled "Breaking News." |
On SABC News their camera featured President Zuma since arrival, into the line and voting. The very good on air team of Ayanda Allie-Paine and Eben Jansen (who have been a great on air pair) discussed whether the person in front of him in the line should take a selfie with him as it would be legal to do so in the line. Eventually they started juxtaposing a split screen of Zuma on the one side and Mangosotho Buthelezi on the other side.
ANN7 broadcast the footage live whilst continuing their in studio discussion.
All three channels carried his post voting remarks live.
