Elections 2009

On the 22nd of April we have yet another important date on the South African calendar, our General Elections take place.I am going to be totally honest here with you people and I know that some of you are going to be horrified but I seriously do not know if I am going to vote in this coming election.For many many years I have been told that my vote counts and if I do not vote then I cannot complain about the current government, well all has not changed.

I come from a community that has only seen the then President of this country Mr Thabo Mbeki once and that was around campaigning time and I think the same is going to happen agian this year.I have reached a point where I am just tired of casting a vote that every 4 years does not seem to be making a difference…I am all inspired by Barack Obama and Yes You Can and all that but have our people lost all faith in our politians.

I know many people died for me to have this opportunity and I understand that but I think many of them are turning in their graves right now looking at the situation this country finds itself in….
