Newsletter| Voices| Eventually, I made a last-minute decision, which I will have to live with for the next five years. I hope I will not have buyer’s remorse for all of them, writes vercingetorics
My mind transported me back to 2004’s general election. The day was Wednesday, April 14 2004 and I was voting for the first time.
I voted for the ANC, without thinking twice about it. It was the most logical thing to do. The thought of voting for another party never crossed my mind at all.The only other party I knew at that time, and could have potentially voted for, was the IFP. Although the DA was the official opposition, led by Tony Leon, it was still a small party and won just under two million votes in 2004. At the time there were also no questions about what the DA stood for.
Fast forward to 2019, and voting had become quite a difficult exercise. I stood motionless in the booth and I was not inspired by any of the parties on the ballot paper. I was confused – my heart wanted one thing and my logic restrained me. I closed my eyes and cast a quick lot, but it didn’t work. The lot fell on the Freedom Front Plus. I tried for the second time, and it fell on the ATM.
