Urging South Africans to Vote

Like every South African, Peter Ndoro went to his polling station to cast his vote. After voting, Ndoro took to his verified X account to share his experience. He posted two photos: one showing him patiently waiting in a queue and another displaying his marked thumb after casting his vote.

In his caption, Ndoro encouraged fellow South Africans to exercise their democratic right and vote for their preferred party. He wrote,

“The situation at my voting station. Long queue but voting is too important for us not to show up. Your vote will likely be the one that matters.”

However, Ndoro’s update sparked a backlash from a section of South Africans who questioned how he was allowed to vote, given his Zimbabwean origin. Some users argued that foreigners should not have the right to participate in the country’s elections. Others correctly pointed out that Ndoro has South African citizenship and is therefore eligible to vote. Here are some of the reactions:

@SekaoV:

How are you voting in South Africa as a zimbabwean? You left the SABC and joined the Gupta TV channel, got pissed and moved back to the SABC. Are you telling me the SABC couldn’t replace you as soon as you tendered your resignation? What special powers do you posses?

@TheMxolisi:

Zimbabweans voting in Mzansi… running away from their native country and claim izinto zase next door. Aninamahloni…nikhuliswe kanjani kanti nina?

@Nompu1234:

Why is Peter Ndoro voting in South Africa when he is Zimbabwean. This is the nonsense we want to see anymore.

@Thabang94527261:

We need new constitution in SA, foreigners aren’t supposed to vote period

@LeshNkoana:

He has SA citizenship, let’s not be childish and insensitive.
