Avril Labuschagne (67) had a breeze when she cast her special vote in Somerset West on Monday (27 May). She was in and out of the voting station within minutes. The Somerset West local urged locals to come out in their numbers and vote. “It’s so important to know that every vote counts,” she said. “You can’t change the world, but your vote can make a difference.” RIGHT: Richard Loader (80) and his wife Colleen (75) were proud to cast their special vote in the National Elections at Bizweni. The couple, who’ve never missed a voting day since the dawn of democracy, said it was imperative that every citizen make their mark. “It’s a win for democracy to vote. We have to hold those in power accountable, and it’s up to us to be the change we want to see.”Photos: Jamey Gordon
