Political parties transport voters to polling stations across uMshwathi - EWN

With voters living far from their voting stations, political parties in uMshwathi have taken it upon themselves to transport them.

While uMshwathi is a small local municipality with only 14 wards, it covers a vast area in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

With less than an hour to go before the polls close, political parties are fetching voters from across the municipality in the hope that they will vote for them.

EWN reported earlier today on elderly women who were unable to vote because their voting stations were too far away and they had to cross a river with knee-high water to reach them.

One elderly voter, Maria Mkhize, said she is grateful to have been transported to the voting station.
