Some young Soweto voters tell Holomisa they can't relate to political parties contesting polls

JOHANNESBURG - Some young voters from an informal settlement in Soweto say they don’t relate to most political organisations which are planning to contest the elections.
 
This is what a group of unemployed men told United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader, Bantu Holomisa, who campaigned in the township on Monday.

They said most parties haven't given them a reason to vote for them on 29 May.

One of five young men who were enjoying a game of dice said this when asked his views on the current state of the country.

"The ANC’s [African National Congress] time is over. We were not there when they were fighting for our freedom, so they must go."

He rolled a die on a cardboard tray as he told the UDM leader that political organisations needed to pull up their socks.

"This is the life we live. We’re unemployed, so maybe we should vote for another party."

But Holomisa tried to convince them to vote for his party on 29 May.
