Nelson Mosima has been at Joubert Park as early as others waiting to cast their ballot, but he will not vote. | |
He takes a 10km (six miles) jog around the park followed by lifting weights. | |
Mosima is one of the many people who have decided not to vote. | |
He has been unemployed for seven years and used to be politically active. | |
"I cant be waiting for pensioners (politicians) who don't have a vision. | |
"It has been 30 years but they are not showing us [that] they want to change anything. It's all about themselves, their families, their greed," Mosima said. | |
He said with the options he has between political parties, none have aligned with his values as a South African. | |
Dion Manenzhe, who was the first person to cast their ballot at the voting station said his experience of voting on three ballot papers went smoothly. | |
"It's easy if you know what you're voting for. Just tick, tick, tick." | |
He is a regular at Joubert Park, and always votes with the hope that South Africa can change. | |
Another voter Benson Ncube, said he was happy to vote and get back into bed. | |
