The ANC Gauteng Province is saddened by the death of two residents of Sedibeng and Tshwane regions respectively, who on Wednesday (08 May) met their untimely demise before they had the opportunity to cast their votes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones and we send our deepest condolences.

In Sedibeng  a 79-year-old elderly woman died moments before she could vote at her voting station in Bophelong, Vanderbijlpark. She is reported to have been in a jovial mood earlier indicating that and she was looking forward to making her mark. She collapsed in the voting booth shortly after being given ballot papers.

Another elderly person from Elandspoort, in Tshwane, died outside the Westview Temporary Voting Station in Elandspoort. The 67-year old man collapsed before he could get a chance to cast his vote.

The two compatriots understood not only their civic duty to strengthen democracy through universal suffrage but they had a deeper appreciation of the inherent power that one’s vote carries in shaping the future of our country.


Issued by the ANC Gauteng Province
