While some of the youth is aware that their vote will make a difference, many believe that things will stay the same and are showing no interest in participating in the elections tomorrow. ZiMoja spoke to ama2000 from the University of Johannesburg, Soweto campus, who will be first time voters and heard their views about making their mark come tomorrow.

THINGS WILL STAY THE SAME

Sinothile Mabuza, who is studying a postgraduate certificate in Education, said she won't be casting her vote since she didn't register out of lack of interest. "I really am not interested because ever since I learned about voting growing up, I have seen no significant change in the lives of ordinary South Africans. Now it's my turn but what will my vote do when people who've voted since the inception of democracy are still suffering?" she asked. Koketso Molalo, a first-year student in Accounting, said she won't vote because she hasn't seen change in her community. "I didn't even register because I don't see the point. They have their rallies and make promises they won't keep and regardless of what they say, there won't be any change."

"WE WANT CHANGE"

Siyabonga Malinga who is doing his second year in small business management said it matters not which party will win, as long as they make a difference. He told Zimoja that he will be voting but ... "I don't know why I'm voting; I'm just going with the flow. We'll see from the party that wins if they'll bring about change, I'm not bothered by who will win honestly," said Malinga. Mlungisi Mongwe, a second-year student pursuing a Diploma in Accounting, said he will be voting for change. Karabo a first-year student studying community development and leadership said she was excited to be casting her vote on tomorrow. "I'm going to vote tomorrow because I want to see change in South Africa," she concluded.
