'Residents were telling us they will not vote for a man (Ramaphosa) they don't know.'
Five hours before the voting district of kwaNxamalala, Nkandla closed, 778 national votes had been cast and 769 votes for the province. IFP youth secretary in the area Phumzile Magwaza said the party was positive of taking the lion's share of the votes."During door-to-door campaigns it became clear that we will get more votes because residents were telling us they will not vote for a man they don't know," she said.
Magwaza said she was happy with the manner in which voters showed loyalty to the IFP."We had to go and get t-shirts from other voting districts because we ran out, voters were interested in the IFP," she said.But the ANC, which erected its tent opposite that of the IFP, also expressed confidence. Former ward councillor and ANC activist in the area Sbongiseni Bhengu said their tent was the busiest.
"I have no doubt that we pulled a strong campaign and it provides people with enough reasons to trust the ANC with their vote," he said.
