Some Zimbabweans who quickly returned to South Africa after casting their votes on Tuesday were jubilant, saying they had voted for change.
Ecstatic Zimbabweans left their country happy, saying the election process went smoothly.
"I pleaded with electoral officials to allow me to vote using my Zimbabwe passport. They refused, saying I must bring my ID," said Zvomuya.I am going to fetch my ID and head back home. I want to vote. I want to see my country change. My name is on the roll. My vote is important."I'm angry that my name didn't appear on the voters' list. I registered three months ago. I've never voted before. I was eager to bring change to Zimbabwe. I am disappointed.
"We are looking forward to the development of our country. We want jobs. We want to improve our economy. I hope my party fulfils our dream. Whoever wins this time must ensure our country returns to its glory days. We are suffering and want to return home to rebuild Zimbabwe," said Chipendo.
