Born-free - noun a member of a generation born in a country after its transition to democracy, in particular, post-apartheid South Africa - Oxford Dictionary. South Africa will hold its sixth national and provincial elections on May 8. As part of our #Elections2019 coverage, IOL has asked 94 Born Frees for their views on the upcoming elections. Will they be voting? Who influences who they vote for, if anybody? What issue would most affect their decision on who to vote for?
While never having endured the brutality of apartheid, the Born Frees face their own struggles, including high unemployment, access to education and issues around identity."I'm choosing to vote in 2019 because I feel that just as we all have the right to vote in South Africa, we all have a responsibility to vote. I feel that without voting I don't have a say in the issues and the difficulties of this country and also in the victories of this country," said Brian.
