There was high police visibility at Dube Hostel which is notorious for violent protests.
Various political parties including the ANC, NFP and IFP had set up stands outside the voting station, playing music to encourage residents to come out and vote.
Mabaso also commended hostel dwellers for displaying political tolerance and political maturity.
“Our democracy has now matured in a way that we tolerate each other. As you can see here, we have people from different political parties sharing the same space and enjoying themselves. That is what we are encouraging,” said Mabaso.
Voting continues across Soweto and no incidents of disruption have been reported.
