Earnest Dada<\/span> van Vredenburg het weens die huidige politieke klimaat in die land nie in die vorige verkiesing gestem nie. \u201cSo many political formations (new and old) left me uncertain as to who to vote for. The multiplicity of options really left me uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nHy gaan egter Woensdag 29 Mei stem. \u201cReason being, I took time to read through the manifestos of different political formations, listened to the leaders of those formations, and prayed about the matter as well. I have to vote and make an informed decision so that I play an active role in the choice of who governs me, my family and my neighbours.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dada is van plan om nie vir dieselfde party te stem as die vorige kere toe hy gestem het nie. \u201cBecause I am a risk taker by nature, I am often willing to take the risk of voting for another party which promises to execute on its promises.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Charlene Boucher<\/span> van Saldanha het in die vorige verkiesing gestem, want sy glo elke stem tel. \u201cOns kan nie kla oor die huidige omstandighede as ons nie ons kruisie getrek het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSy gaan ook volgende week stem. \u201cEk is optimisties en glo as ons saamstaan, kan Suid- Afrika weer die wonderlike land wees waar almal saam kan werk.\u201d Boucher stem vanjaar weer vir dieselfde party, want sy glo dat hulle \u2019n verskil kan maak as hulle die geleentheid kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Maxine Davids<\/span>, ook van Saldanha, het in die vorige verkiesing gestem omdat sy 18 jaar oud was en dit haar eerste verkiesing as stemgeregtigde was. \u201cEn ook omdat my ouers gestem het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSy gaan weer vanjaar stem, maar di\u00e9 keer vir \u2019n nuwe party \u201com te kyk wat hulle uitgerig sal kan kry\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Lizl Ryan<\/span> van Vredenburg het ook in die vorige verkiesing gestem \u2013 \u201cvir die gratis Wimpy-koffie natuurlik\u201d! Op \u2019n ernstiger noot meen sy as jy nie stem nie, het jy geen reg om oor die party wat wen te kla nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSy gaan beslis weer op 29 Mei stem, want \u201cSuid-Afrika kan nie meer so aangaan nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar gaan absoluut niks van ons pragtige land oorbly as die huidige regering aan bewind bly nie. Wat los ons oor vir ons kinders?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is vir haar belangrik dat indien die party waarvoor sy gaan stem wen, hulle die regte mense in die regte poste moet aanstel. \u201cEk gee nie om of hy wit, swart of pers met geel kolletjies is nie. Eerlike, hardwerkende mense wat die beste vir Suid-Afrika wil h\u00ea, en nie net hul eie sakke wil volstop nie. Maak ons weer trots om Suid-Afrikaners te wees,\u201d vra sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Marzaan Visser<\/span> glo elke stem tel. Sy het in die vorige verkiesing gestem en gaan weer stem in \u2019n poging om \u201cons land \u2019n beter plek te maak, veral vir ons jongmense\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHaar verwagting van die party waarvoor sy gaan stem is dat \u201chulle nie net aan hulself dink nie, maar aan ons land se mense, veral jongmense wat \u2019n brandende begeerte het vir \u2019n verbeterde toekoms sonder korrupsie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar hoop is dat die nuutverkose regering nie net na hul eie sakke gaan kyk nie, maar ook na mense wat swaarkry gaan omsien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Marius de Vries<\/span> het ook in die vorige verkiesing gestem, \u201cmet die hoop dat die party vir wie ek gestem het \u2019n verskil sou maak in die regering van ons land\u201d. Hy gaan volgende week weer stem, maar di\u00e9 keer vir \u2019n ander party, \u201caangesien die party vir wie ek die vorige keer gestem het nie die dienste kon lewer waarvoor ons gehoop het nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHy verwag dat die party waarvoor hy hierdie jaar stem ordentlike diens aan die gemeenskap sal lewer aangesien hulle deur die mense aangestel en betaal word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie regering word deur die burgers van die land verkies en werk dus vir die burgers van die land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie bestuur van die land word as sy plig beskou, en hy doen die burgers van die land geen guns tydens die uitvoer van sy pligte soos wat deur sy amp bepaal word nie \u2013 dit is sy werk om dit te doen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy meen burgers moenie die regering vrees nie; die regering moet die burgers vrees indien hy nie sy pligte na wense uitvoer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Esmarelda Mckay<\/span> van Saldanha meen sy het in die vorige verkiesing gestem omdat dit elke Suid Afrikaner se plig is om te stem. \u201cI do my part in protecting our democracy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nSy gaan ook weer vanjaar stem. \u201cThe democracy we have, did not come easily, and me executing my democratic right to vote is such an honour and a privilege.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer dit kom by of Mckay vir dieselfde party gaan stem as voorheen, s\u00ea sy die verkiesing is eintlik baie interessant. \u201cI must say this election is very interesting as we have three ballot papers and independent candidates. More choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have read through most manifestos, I say I will go as the Holy Spirit leads me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Nicholas Dada<\/span>, ook \u2019n inwoner van Vredenburg, s\u00ea hy het ook in die vorige verkiesing gestem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI voted because I wanted to see a change. I had the hope that the party which I first voted for might bring change, but I have seen no change.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met dit ges\u00ea gaan Nicholas weer vanjaar stem, maar vir \u2019n ander party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been disappointed by my previous party, so it is time to give another party a chance to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
