by Precious MonaWe have less than a month before we cast our votes to elect our new president. Some people claim they already know who is going to win these elections whereas some people are hoping for change.
I live in Soweto and it is so fascinating to see politicians campaigning and even visiting homes of pensioners in our area, promising all sorts of things.
Poor people are offered food vouchers and some houses are renovated by our councillors. It’s really intriguing that now it means we must vote for them!
Do I vote for the person who only comes once after 5 years to shower me with gifts like Father Christmas? Or do I vote for the guys I often see on those debate shows telling me how they can improve what the ruling party is doing for me or that they can deliver what the ruling party has not done in the past 15 years?
My take on the state of affairs in our country is that we need change.

I don’t know if the ruling party can deliver that, or if the main opposition party can do better, or if the new kid on the block can rectify the mistakes of the ruling party, or if maybe the underdogs can bring about the long awaited better life for all.
Come 22nd April 2009, I will be clued up about who will get my vote. In the meantime, I will be entertained and informed by the live debates on my TV screen.
