The elections are just days away and voters will take to the polls.<\/p>\n
For Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebrskool Germiston learners Sandise Tobose and Jessica Raynard these elections will be their first.<\/p>
The pair recently shared their reasons for voting with the GCN.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will be my first time at the polls,\u201d said Sandise.<\/p>
\u201cI think it is important for the youth to vote because I believe every vote helps make a difference in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey help shape the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandise believes the youth should learn to exercise their rights more and help build the country.<\/p>\n
Jessica believes it is her responsibility to vote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is my responsibility as a youth to vote in order to help facilitate change in the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the more people who vote the more diversity it will bring to the elections and hopefully bring with it maybe not a new party, but more diversity to the parties in power.\u201d<\/p>\n
