I am so perplexed by whats to come may 7 and underestimating that state would be a mistake... 4yrs ago I didnt vote as I couldnt bring myself to cast my vote against a party thats given me and many others so much... The ANC put books on my desk, they put a pen in my hand and then gave the assurance that if i focussed on the tools given... theyd do the rest... they provided an environment where all people were inspired to change...even my parents took cue. They rose up above trying circumstances and sent my entire family to good schools.. a feat that would otherwise have been impossible had the anc not changed our paradym.. so fearful of sounding too extreme I say to u that my life as it stands began with big decisions initiated by the anc... thats my reality... so for this and many other reasons, I love the anc... as dramatic is that may sound, how can I not... if it wasnt for the efforts of the people in that party, in all likelyhood I wouldnt have been given an opportunity to live... not meaningfully anyway... so as before I am completely conflicted on what I should do come voting day... I dont believe that that same anc exists today... I abstained from voting 4yrs ago as I felt that the leadership of the anc had lost its way...voting for them felt to me like tacit consent and because I wasnt in agreement with the direction my party had taken, I couldnt bring myself to vote for them...I certainly couldnt bring myself to vote for any opposition cause in truth.. that felt a lot worse... 4yrs and many incidents later, my party has proven me right... they leaders have failed the people of this country again and again and here we are again...now may 7 is just over a month away and its time to make some decisions... much like id seriously struggle to testify against the ones I love in a court of law, Im seriously battling with the concept of casting my vote against a party that loved me enough to give me so much... what to do??? #sigh of a conflicted citizen#
