Will voting make ANY difference in SA?

At the previous FMF event, Frans Cronje revealed that South Africans are changing their political beliefs due to nearly 30 years of poor service delivery, corruption, and growing unemployment.

The youth are the future of the country and they are also hardest hit by unemployment. Many of these affected youth and other parts of the population wonder if voting will change things in SA.

Zakhele Mthembu, Philasande Shongwe, and Bheki Mahlobo agree that young people should be the change they want to see.
