'It was always exciting for me to be accompanied by my grandmother when conducting important things and voting is one of those important things, so we would be together,' said Malema. SAElections2019
The EFF leader arrived at the voting station shortly after 10am, flanked by his wife Mantwa Matlala-Malema. The weather was chilly with clear skies.
Mantwa cast her vote first before Malema proceeded to the ballot box to vote for his party, telling those present that"My vote is not a secret"."She would have wanted to be here, but we do not decide. God decides what happens," said a sombre Malema, a far cry from the firebrand he is known as. Even if they get provoked, he said, they should resist retaliating."Remain viligant. You know those ones of the yellow t-shirts, like their father Jacob Zuma, are used to stealing everything. Look after EFF votes and do not be violent when you do," he told them.
