The beach, rather than the polls, lured some Durban residents as local government elections got under way on Monday.
Johannesburg brothers TK and Zolile Mazibuko decided to spend their long weekend at the beach.
“It will be useless for me to vote. I voted in the previous election and things just got worse. Even if I was in Joburg, I would not have voted. I want the ANC out. They are too relaxed and eating our money,” said TK.“Miraculously we have had no load-shedding since Saturday. Tomorrow it will return after elections.Though the brothers will not make their mark, they are hoping the smaller parties will find success at the polls.
A waitress at a beachfront eatery, who did not want to identified, said she was disappointed she would not get a chance to vote. “By the time I finish my shift the polling station will be closed. I'm disappointed but I have to work,” she said.
