Fanie Joe, 28, says he has never voted because he does not see the importance of voting.
Young South Africans make up a sizeable number of potential voters – but some of them said they had good cause to stay aloof from Wednesday’s national elections.
“I have been looking for a job for 5 years since I came out from college and even now I’m not working because they always want someone with experience, so I think those with experience should vote,” Mdakane said. “I believe it adds to the millions of people who still want to see the ANC transforming the lives of ordinary citizens of this country,” Sigudu said.
Fanie Joe, 28, said he too would not cast his vote. He said he has never voted, because he did not see the importance of it. Tentville residents have been demading land and housing from the Rustenburg local municipality since 2013. The land they currently occupy does not belong to them.
