'I am ready to vote for the ANC, although it is a corrupt party' - Marikana resident
7 May 2019
While some residents in Marikana in the North West have indicated they won't be making their mark in Wednesday's elections, others say they will vote for the ANC despite some leaders being "corrupt".
Mzwandile Ngqothwana, a Marikana resident for the past six years, told News24 that although the party has been embroiled in corruption allegations he will still vote for it.
Born and bred in Welkom in the Free State, Ngqothwana says: "I am ready to vote for the ANC, although it is a corrupt party, I am ready to give them my vote again.
"I am still going to vote for the same government because some of us are employed because of this government… better the devil you know than the one you don't know. They are corrupt but what can we say?"
