The first deputy president of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, Duduzane Zuma, has cast his vote in Durban, promising smaller wards will be prioritised by his party.
At least four polls have placed the MK Party as a frontrunner in the eThekwini Metro.
Residents here in Newlands East have complained about water disruptions and unemployment.
Among them is another party voter, Jezelle.
“Unemployment is very bad in our community. Our youth is returning to drugs and alcohol because there's no employment no jobs, we need job creation for our youth.”
Jezelle was among a group of voters who broke from the line to take a picture with Zuma, who noted service delivery issues have been historic in the region.
“What we're saying is we're not here to make promises, a lot of people make promises. We're here to do. People will realise once we get into positions of power, there'll be focus on smaller wards.”
Meanwhile, nearby, some residents aren't voting, as they're busy collecting water for their homes.
