Elections 2024: Why Cape Town's young people are eager to head to the polls
Cape Town's young people are eager to cast their votes on Wednesday.They want the government to fill leadership positions with young leaders.
"Young people are well-equipped to lead South Africa's economy to success. The government doesn't consider people under 35, but politicians who are older than 65 still occupy positions and fail to deliver," Mhlambi said. Coetzee said the country was a rainbow nation, in which people of different races got along, but politics created division and hatred."My main concerns are crime, load shedding, lack of jobs and opportunities for young people. We need change in this country," said Goliath. Booysen remembered hearing about the importance of voting when she was in high school, but only understood its significance when she struggled to find a job.
According to Bailey, in areas plagued by gang violence and other social challenges, addressing unemployment was vital for creating a safer and more prosperous community.
