Madonsela, who cast her ballot along with millions of other South Africans on Wednesday, said her experience of voting was"fantastic".
"It is fantastic to vote. It's about honouring the fact people died, people sacrificed their lives for us to vote.""One must ask themselves if they want to live in a society where corruption doesn't steal our people's dreams. "Voting is important because it's that one time you get an opportunity to determine who will govern your affairs," Madonsela said.
Madonsela said people should note that none of the political parties ticked all the boxes and they should vote for the party that ticked the most.She encouraged young people to vote, especially those who were registered but had decided not to go to the polls. "To those who do not want to vote, please rethink your decision. No political party is perfect. Don't make other people make choices for you, because you will live in South Africa."
