| As in numerous other polling stations across South Africa, voting was delayed at a Soweto school located a short walk from where anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela used to live. | |
| People have been patient but it’s clear the political landscape for Mandela’s party, the governing African National Congress (ANC), is changing. | |
| “We are excited that more parties have come on board,” says 50-year-old Thabiso Motea. “We don’t want just one party ruling.” | |
| Linda Malinda, 68, says casting her vote would make a change, and that she wants a lot of that. | |
| “Most of our children they’ve gone into drugs because of frustration - they can’t get jobs, they can’t go to school, the money’s not there. | |
| She says she is still planning to vote for the ANC, because “changing my vote will make things worse”. | |
| But 18-year-old Ntokoto Ngobeni was waiting to “vote out some people” and cast his first-ever ballot for the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party. | |
