IN PICS: Residents make their mark
Randburg voting stations had a rocky start but residents came out in numbers to make their mark.
Residents hit the polls on May 29. Randburg Sun spent time at the Windsor West Three in One Spiritual Centre and Laerskool Fontainebleau.
Ward 98 Councillor Beverly Jacobs said the morning was a little disappointing. “The IEC did not seem fully prepared and the process was not going as smoothly as it should be.”
She said that several voters had been turned away for various reasons.
Although things were moving pretty fast at Laerskool Fontainebleau, Ward 104 Councillor Emi Koekemoer said there was a 30-minute to an hour delay at most voting stations due to the ballots being delivered late and the machines being down.
“It’s a big turnout and we’re really happy with it,” said Koekemoer.
Locals were asked why they decided to vote. Here’s what they had to say:
