While many South Africans make their way to voting stations today, there are people who have taken the decision not to vote.They have instead braced the cold weather to clean their neighbourhood.
The residents of villages that include Lekgalong, Ikageng, Serutubi and Lesung say the government has failed to ensure that they receive basic services such as water and electricity.“We as the civic movement of Ward 44 in Rustenburg have embarked on doing a cleaning campaign today on the election day on the 29th, and are not going to vote at all. We are not going to participate in voting today. We have suffered enough as Ward 44.
Meanwhile, some sex workers on the streets of Johannesburg say no politicians have come to speak to them during the elections campaigning. Thuli Sibanyoni – not her real name – has been on the streets for almost three months of the election campaigning. “So far I have never seen any politician here. For almost three months there were no politicians that have arrived while I was working here,” says Sibanyoni.
