Not participating in elections can have severe implications on a nation. Firstly, it means that one is forfeiting his/her voice and influence over the democratic process. By abstaining from voting, one effectively remove his/herself from the decision-making process and relinquishing the opportunity to shape the government and policies that affect the entire society.
Elected officials and policies are determined by those who actively participate in elections. If you choose not to vote, you give up the chance to elect representatives who reflect your beliefs and advocate for your concerns.
We would recall that Zimbabwean nationals living in South Africa stormed the streets of Capetown and Johannesburg earlier today to protest over the involvement of ANC government in Zimbabwe’s election which happened last month.
However, a Zimbabwean lady known as Mmola Maphuthi on Twitter has criticized Zimbabweans who participated in the protest earlier today. She accused them of not participating in the just-concluded election yet there are expecting a change in governance.
According to her exact words, she said;
“Voting is a decision maker, if you don’t vote those who voted are the once who will decide for you. 90% of Zimbabweans who are in South Africa didn’t go home to vote. Those who are in Zimbabwe took decision to vote for Zanupf. Did Fikile Mbalula force Zimbabweans to vote Zanupf?, the answer is no”.
