I am Voting 🗳️ with my feet tomorrow 29/5/2024 and the motivation behind my choice is to change my environment/circumstances
South Africa has made significant democratic progress since 1994 despite facing various challenges.
In 1994 we had the first Democratic Elections allowing all races to vote ending Apartheid. ANC won a landslide victory and Nelson Mandela was elected the first black President.
In 1999 ANC won again and with a peaceful transition Thabo Mbeki became President
2004 ANC continued to rule Mbeki re-elected
2009 New Leadership Jacob Zuma rising concerns corruption/state capture
2014 Jacob Zuma re-elected. Popularity declining due to corruption and governance issues
2019 -2024 Leadership changes following Zuma ‘s resignation and Cyril Ramaphosa becomes President. Focusing on anti corruption and economic reforms.
Challenges: Corruption, economic inequality, unemployment issues etc.
Growing Opposition Parties DA and EFF
Opposition parties oppose Government policies and actions if they believe the public interests are at stake.
We have a strong electoral oversight by the IEC (Electoral Commission ensures fair election)
Did you vote in your Country’s last election?
What impact do you think voting can have on the future a Country?

We sometimes hear of ballot papers gone missing, found in a dump etc...but nothing major. We do have a strong electoral oversight by the IEC. There's already a strong police presence all over the country. 🙏We hope and pray for the best
Yes, I always go to vote, it's very important to me!
I am satisfied with our Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán.

I think the only President I was happy with was Nelson Mandela. Hoping and praying for a change🙏

Nelson Mandela was a great leader and an example to not only South Africa but to many more countries. I still remeber he once said that "West think their enemy should be our enemy"
