Seventy-year-old shown away on Election Day

Elderly woman upset for being denied the opportunity to vote.

What a beautiful voting day! I woke up at 5am and walked to the voting station at 6am.

I am 70 years old, and have voted in 2014 and 2016. Now all of the sudden I was not allowed to vote anymore, because I am a non-South African citizen.

I have been living in this country for the past 49 years, paying tax, water and electricity. I am a church member and a responsible person in South Africa.

What is the problem? Why are we non-South Africans not allowed to vote?

Some political parties are afraid of not getting enough votes!
