Residents said it’s taking them about an hour to cast their vote but it is worth it as they are making their voices being heard.
Hans Brouwer, who has voted since 1994, said it is very important to make your mark and have your say. Everyone needs to be part of our beautiful democracy so that we can go forward as a country.
Voting gives you a chance to choose who you want as a leader. Voting is the only chance to do that so make your voice count.
Christine Fraser urged people to come through and vote. People should not worry about the long queues, once you are inside the hall everything goes faster. Remember if you do not vote you can’t complain.
Thandeka Duma said she feels relieved. I have voted since the first time I was eligible to vote. We are doing this for the future of our children. If you choose not to make your voice heard then you do not have a right to complain.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
