ANC members have taken refuge from the rain in a tent reserved for the media and burst into song, while President Cyril Ramaphosa continues speaking at the party's Siyanqoba Rally, at Thokoza Park in Moroka, Soweto.
SOWETO: Rain had started pouring in Thokoza Park, in Soweto, where President Cyril Ramaphosa was addressing hundreds of ANC supporters.
“I did not go to work today due to community members protesting and demanding electricity. Fellow community members said they are not going to vote come Monday, because of the lack of electricity.“I heard them saying they would shut down all voting stations. Personally, I also want to vote, but if the electricity problem persists, I will not be able to,” said Yende.
Yende thanked Ramaphosa for giving the unemployed the R350 Covid-19 social relief of distress grant, saying she has seen the money making a difference in some people’s lives. Neville Nash, from Meadowlands, in Soweto, said the ANC had all but won the elections, judging by the turn out at the rally.
