“I’m feeling good this morning. Come rain or sunshine, we have to do our civic duty and get out to vote,” she said.De Lille said she was concerned about voter apathy in general and the rain in Cape Town was adding to the problem.
The party’s mayoral candidate for Cape Town, Brett Herron, who was part of De Lille’s entourage, is hoping for a “good” outcome.“It was an honour to put a cross next to GOOD and we are hoping for a good outcome,” he said. “ “Yes, I’m voting for myself to be elected, I’m voting for our city, but mostly I’m voting for a new path for our city.”“I’m hoping people will come out in their numbers despite the rain because if we don’t vote today, our next chance to change the city’s trajectory is 2026. Let’s not let the rain keep us away.”
