What does the elections means to us as South Africans?

The South Africans living abroad are voting today, but some people in this very country will not vote, then you ask yourself why?
The South Africans abroad fought for this priviledge opportunity of being part of the biggest change or decision making process. I asked few students around campus about the question above. What i find was different opinions and views about the elections.
Some students said they will not vote because they feel like they are not represented in South African politics. They even mention the fact that the Youth Leagues in this country does not represent them but those people in power and to make money out of them.
Some they are very happy to vote for the first time in thier lives and some it will be their second time. To those who will vote it means they be exercising their freedom to choose and voting itself is a sign of freedom on its own. They say voting allow you to decide who will be your president and you automatically become the part of decision makers in Parliament because the Party that you choose represent your views.
So why don't we go out there and vote!!
