Residents casting their votes at the polling booth as Emmerentia Primary School in Johannesburg on Wednesday said they felt doing so was important but deciding which political party to back in the current climate was not an easy choice.
Ofentse Nxumalo, 39, said: “I feel like voting today is about picking the lesser of two or three evils.
“You know you know are going to get screwed over regardless of who you pick, but I feel like today it’s about picking the one that is least likely to destroy you.”
Jabulane Mdlalose, 23, said: “As a first time voter, and living in this government, I believe that change is needed and I do believe that different parties should be given the opportunity to govern so that we know what works.”
