Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane re-registered to vote at Allen Glen High School on 5 March.
Maimane was accompanied by DA Joburg Mayoral Candidate Herman Mashaba and DA provincial leader of Gauteng John Moodey.
Allen Glen High School happens to be the high school Maimane attended when he was a boy, and the students and staff that were there welcomed him with open arms.
The DA leader said, “We encourage people to come and vote if they want change. While the ANC is falling apart, we need to build South Africa up.” Maimane added that everyone wants this country to succeed, and everyone wants jobs and change, but that will never happen if residents do not vote.
Mashaba commented that people must seek the change they want democratically and legally. “Yesterday I spent the day at the City Centre and what I saw was a tragedy, the service delivery was almost non-existent,” he said. Mashaba added that people are desperate for change.
Maimane said the he is optimistic about the municipal elections and that they are arguably the most contested elections. He concluded that rather than taking the time to protest, residents should go and register and elect a party that serves the people.
