‘No road no vote’: Residents of the Greater Giyani Municipality lack basic services like water, sanitation and road infrastructure.

A road to nowhere: After waiting years for this essential road to be upgraded, residents of Mahlathi Village now say #NoRoadNoVote.

Residents of five villages have decided to create a WhatsApp group called ‘No Road No Vote’ This group so far has 10,024 participants. One of the group’s founding members said, “Our mission is to unite and boycott this year’s election because the ruling party has been fooling us all along and every election they are lying that they will tar out road now let’s say enough is enough we don’t want to come and campaign”.

The team launched protest actions to disrupt the electoral process in wards 18 and 19 until their demands are met. This basic mobilization stands as a testament to their unshakable commitment to effect clear change and to hold elected officials accountable for their actions.
