Pulane Sibiya (Dunnotar, works in Brakpan): Yes, we have to because the current government isn’t doing anything for us, and if we send them a message with the elections, maybe they will.
Residents were asked if they would vote and why they think it is important to vote. Here’s what they said:
Kiewiet du Plessis (Rand Collieries): Absolutely. If you don’t vote you won’t see change. I hope the change my vote brings will be less corruption.
Bart Zaayman (Dalpark Ext 1): Yes, I am voting. We have to fix service delivery, corruption, and unemployment. The bunch currently in charge are totally incompetent.
Christo Brits (Dalpark Ext 1): Yes, it is the right thing to do. If you don’t vote, you can’t complain, and often it’s that one vote that changes the outcome.
Jan van Tonder (Dalpark Ext 1): Yes, everyone has to vote. We have to try to get people into power who will create more opportunities for progress, for the people, and for service delivery.
