“We need to see more job opportunities being created for our children. People are unemployed, that is why we have such a big crime issue in Vryheid. I arrived at around 6:40 AM to cast my vote here today because I know exactly what I want and which party will give that to me,” said Nompumelelo Sikhosana from the Sasko area.
The voting station at KwaBhanya High School in the Emadoshini area was among the busiest during the course of the day with IEC officials claiming that the queue has not had less than 20 people since early this morning.
