Cape Town resident voting

As a pensioner, Elizabeth Wilkinson from Eastridge in Mitchells Plain says she hopes her vote will bring change to the excessively high rates in water and electricity which she cannot afford. Wilkinson, who braved the heavy rains to cast her vote at Imperial Primary, has resided in the area for about 38 years. She emphasised that teenage pregnancy remains a socio-economic issue.
