Speaking after attending ActionSA’s rally this weekend, the tertiary student said she attends the rallies so that she can make an informed decision at the polls.
Political analyst, Prof Dirk Kotze, says while her reasoning is commendable, it seldom becomes the sole factor that influences a person’s voting decision.
Professor Kotze says people’s voting habits are, partly, shaped by the practices and routines of their families, among others.
Professor Sam Koma agrees with Kotze.
He adds that all political parties that have so far launched their manifestos have failed to articulate their plan for young people.
Professor Koma attributes “Nomarally’s” crisscrossing to this lack of clear and direct attention to detail to issues that face the youth.
That’s a miss, he says, has left some young people confused ahead of the May general elections.
