South Africa: My Vote Will Change the World

press release

I have voted once in my life, this will be the second vote I am casting, I will vote for the same political party as I did the first time I voted. Voting in 2016 is worth it. I am afraid but I can see the events are calling for my vote. What I make of this moment will change everything. The vote I cast this year will determine my future. The promises my party has promised me must be fulfilled, it is make or break for them too. They must deliver or they will lose my vote in the future.

Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu are one of the influential leaders I look up to. I admire in them the same quality and passion they both attributed which was "ubuntu" . I believe that a good leader is one that knows people, respects them and can have their dwelling among them. The leaders of today do not dwell amongst us. They build fancy houses with the people's money on hilltops and in the stars to get away from the conditions which the average South African is facing. One thing they cannot get away from though is the deterioration of planet Earth. People who are passionate about protecting the Earth, passionate about peace, and passionate about creating positive change should stand and vote for change instead of complaining.
