The five sipped on their drinks and chatted about why they were not voting while watching voters come and go to participate in the country's sixth general election.
"I had just turned 18 and cast my vote in 1994, I felt it was important for me to do so. I was hoping they would make a difference as I was unemployed and there were promises of a new South Africa with greater opportunities for employment." "I last voted in 1999, after that I was done. Who do I vote for? Anyone who comes into power - the DA, EFF, IFP - they can tell you what you want to hear, but when they get into power they will all become corrupt. The ANC have been promising since 1994 and they are still promising. There's no hope for this country, if I had the money I would leave, but I can't because I don't.
"People have been staying in those tin shacks since I was in school - nothing has been done to date. I saw a photo of Dubai [informal settlement] recently comparing what their city looked like in 1999 to what it looks like today. We are not even close in terms of growing our infrastructure. Just look at the roads in this area, look at the dirt left unattended to on the verges," she said.
