PORT ST JOHNS - Port St Johns residents who lost their identity documents in the recent floods are set to receive temporary documents that will enable them to vote in next week's elections.A group of people waiting for emergency relief food parcels told Eyewitness News they were disappointed and might punish the governing party at the polls.Mayor Nomvuzo Mlombile-Cingo said the municipality was working to organise temporary identity documents for those who have lost theirs.
Resident Lonwabo Peto, who waited outside the town hall for food relief parcels, said the floods would have an impact on next week’s elections there. “A lot of people are not going to vote if they are not fast with these IDs and I don’t think a lot of people are going to vote for the ANC because they are disappointed. They even promised us yesterday that the president was coming, but we didn’t see a president, we only saw a picture on a bus, just a picture of Cyril Ramaphosa.”“ANC is our home. If ANC has got a problem, we’re supposed to sit and talk because it’s our home, we’re not going to leave this home because your home’s got mistakes.
