EFF's Malema joins long queue at Seshego voting station as he waits to make his mark

SESHEGO - Queues are heavily backed up at the Mponagele Primary School voting station in Seshego, where Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema is set to cast his vote.

Law enforcement authorities have identified the township as a hotspot for potential disruptions during Wednesday’s elections.

Dozens of police officers have been deployed to ensure Seshego residents are allowed to practice their democratic right to vote.

Despite EFF leader Julius Malema’s presence at the Mponagele Primary School, queues continue to pile up with hundreds of people who are here to vote.

The very last person in the queue is Aubrey Morudu, a Seshego resident who is voting with hopes that maybe one day the township will be free of crime.

"Crime is creeping in. We do not know where the culture of crime is coming from. I know in the past it was just petty crimes but now criminals are fearless, and they do as they wish."

As EFF leader Julius Malema arrives, he says South Africans should think about their daily struggles when they vote.

"It's an election where everybody is saying they need change and jobs."

Meanwhile, Malema has joined the queue with hundreds of voters ahead of him.
