the logistics or any other aspect of its mandate to administer elections by way of section 10A(3) of the Electoral Act. Declaration on the legality of the National Logistics Committee and publication of membership, mandate, and operating procedures of the National Logistics Committee 56. It is clear from the First Respondent’s report on the 2013 harmonised elections that the National Logistics Committee (NLC) played a central role in the management of that election. An extract of the report is attached hereto as Annexure “B”. The full report will be made available if need be. The report states at page 36: “Because of the magnitude of the task of resource mobilization, the Commission relied on assistance from other state institutions that came together to set up a National Logistics Committee (NLC) which met regularly to coordinate mobilization of all the above resource requirements and also to supervise similar structures at provincial and district levels.” 57. The report does not state precisely what roles the NLC played in the management of the election but it acknowledges that the First Respondent could not have delivered on its mandate without the support of the NLC, at both institutional and individual level. 26
