“I really don’t see any reasons why I should even bother to go and vote because we still do not have services. The roads are bad here and there is no water at all,” said Mduduzi Mazibuko, a community member. Another community member, Maleveni Mashele, said.

“It would really please us if they can build better roads for us because as you can see, we do not have roads at all in the area. It becomes stressful for us taxi operators and other road users to be able to do our work with ease because of the road condition”.
