HLOMLA MDALA: “Voting is a right that was fought for. Many South Africans died for the right to vote, and I believe their bloodshed should not be in vain. The youth of the past fought hard to bring change about for us all. For us it’s even a better fight, no need for physical weapons, just a pen and ballot paper. The future we want to see is in our hands, for our vote is our voice. You can’t complain if you did not vote. We have seen great active citizenship throughout this election season. I don’t know how many young people were actively engaged in educating one another about elections. This was something amazing to see. It means that young people can achieve whatever we want. An active youth will result in a better future, we need to go out and vote in our numbers!”
ELANDRÉ MOOS LINDOOR: “Ek dink dis belangrik om op 29 Mei te stem. Ek persoonlik glo wanneer ’n goeie leier gekies word wat vir ons en ons kinders gaan werk, hoekom dan nie help met jou stem om hierdie Suid-Afrika en selfs jou gemeenskap te red – vir meer werksgeleenthede, beter onderwysstelsel, infrastruktuur ens. –nie? Jou stem kan ’n verandering bring, maar stem reg.”
