'I'm ready to vote for corrupt ANC', says Marikana resident SAElections2019 | J_chabalala
While some residents in Marikana in the North West have indicated they won't be making their mark in Wednesday's elections, others say they will vote for the ANC despite some leaders being"corrupt".
Born and bred in Welkom in the Free State, Ngqothwana says:"I am ready to vote for the ANC, although it is a corrupt party, I am ready to give them my vote again. "Voting for a new party will mean that we don't progress faster because investors will take a while to trust the new leader. I trust the other parties, but I think it will take time for the other parties to make South Africa great."The new party will take forever to improve the country. We have been in democracy for 25 years now and some of us are still unemployed. This shows you that the government that is in power needs to grow first," says Ngqothwana.
"When [President] Cyril Ramaphosa comes to Marikana we want him to leave sweets for us. By sweets I mean he needs to change the place around. He should build us better houses and fix our roads.
