Now how about ending Israeli Apartheid against the Palestinians, huh?
There are people who still say viva anc..sad!! Politics and religion same nonsense
We only had hope in 1994. Hope that there will not be a civil war. Check. Hope that African leaders will make good choices. Cross.
This is the prove that black people cant govern ! Maybe is time to comeback to white government ? As 30 years of black govern showing failure !
For those who don't know, election day is 29 May 2024, not today.
Why they always showing the rural parts of South Africa and not the main cities. I mean it would be better to show both.
Under democracy don’t forget
The anc is no good, they have made south Africa worst than when Botha was in power
Gee…I WONDER whose going yo be voted back in AGAIN after 30 years of utter failure…WELL DONE IDIOTS! Well done! 🤦🏾
South Africa was good until the Whittties started leaving in huge numbers
Voting for ANC means voting for CHAOS! South Africa looks like shittttt
You put black people in white continent. They yell racism. You put white people in black continent. they still yelling racism. The best way to avoid racism is to not strive for multiracial society. All ethnic groups thrive in homogenous society.
TRUTH IS…
Its South Africans Fault. They are the ones who still vote the corrupted ANC!
You get what you vote for.

The Chinese will move in when the whites leave,
London going the way of South African cities. Gated communities and private security as we move further down the path of a low trust society.
"…I'm not going to vote. I'm staying home"

the british remain responsible

I am Zambian.This news report has touched me a lot. It explains so much about the reality not only in South Africa but sub Saharan Africa at large. GOD BLESS Cynthia and her family. It is high time leaders start to value the people in their country than themselves. Corruption is a virus in Africa and it needs to be dealt with using legitimacy, truthfulness,transparency and cooperation for it to stop affecting many lives. What a great news report. GOD BLESS AFRICA.
The ANC have been on power so long, that they now have their own legacy and on every metric, is worse than the atrocities of apartheid. go look at the data. murdering people and doing nothing about crime which results in murders is 2 sides of the same coin. so how many people have the ANC murdered because of incompetence? how many people have the ANC denied health care because of incompetence. how many people have the ANC denied education because of their incompetence? against how many people have the ANC discriminated against because of the color of their skin? Let's not even mention how many billions were looted.
Big shame on the ANC. They have become a party of thugs and looters.
Well, they've completely ruined the country. This is a perfect example of why democracy sometimes doesnt work with certain people in certain countries. The south african culture is just not suited for democracy
Get rid of your stupid white shit i will not be entertaining any. Dumb like shit.
I'm gonna feed you shit every day.
the Palestinians deserve the same freedom
30 years on, and things are different yet still such a mess.😢
I was just going to go cast my vote on Wednesday without thinking about it, but when you remind me it's 30 years, and me being born in the freedom year, I think I need to make a bigger deal about this special year's vote😊 maybe.🙃
30 years after apartheid, and South Africa is worse off than ever. Almost like that policy was doing something. Similar situation in "Zimbabwe".
Things are so much better……😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
