Newsletter| As some of the 26.5 million eligible voters grapple with whether or not to vote, George Jean Nathan had this to say: “Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.” Voting is a right, make your choice, writes MaleselaB
Besides the fact that voting was a privilege for a few before 1994, I personally had a two-year shortfall in terms of being an eligible voter and a form four pupil at the Dr Moses Josiah Madiba High School in the Northern Province when the first democratic elections came around.
I cannot help but reminiscence about the first time I cast a ballot at Meetseng Primary School, Block L in Soshanguve in the 1999 general elections.As my folks back in the village will be exercising their civic right at my alma mater in Ward 40 of Polokwane municipality in the Limpopo Province, I will be visiting my polling station in Ward 39 of the same municipality.
