## Resource

Young South Africans are divided on whether voting can fix a system they see as broken, frustrated by politicians’ disconnect from real struggles like unemployment and crumbling infrastructure. While some feel disillusioned and question the point of elections, others are pressured to participate—even if they’re unregistered or overwhelmed by flawed choices. The core demand? Leaders who listen, act from the ground up, and deliver real change—not just promises. The stakes are high: this generation is demanding governance that reflects their lived reality, not just another cycle of the same problems.
