Residents in Mogale City ensured their voices were heard on voting day, with some expressing their hopes of seeing change in who will govern the municipality.

Krugersdorp CBD business owner Anil Sewpersad said he voted for change because he understands that every cross makes a difference.

He understands that change will happen and trusts that the incoming politicians will adhere to their mandates, listen to the needs of the people, and ensure South Africa starts moving forward together in the true spirit of Ubuntu.

Another business owner, George Manyedi, said voters should not take their ballots for granted.

“You cannot voice your concerns but not show up when the ballots are open,” Manyedi said.
