It was not a case of like father like son for an Eastern Cape dad and his offspring on election day on Wednesday as they made their marks for different parties.
TimesLIVE caught up with Dumisani on campus on Wednesday. He was busy selling items such as sweets, cigarettes and boiled eggs. He also has a scale for students to check their body weight for only R2, and most of his customers are female students.
Dumisani was happy about voting for Cope, and was hopeful that things would change for the better after this year’s elections. Axola Skobhana, 22, a bachelor of education student said he voted for the EFF because he believes that it will address the injustices they have experienced before. “The victory for the EFF is certain and we are going to dislodge the DA as the official opposition because the EFF has grown significantly now,” he said.
