President Jacob Zuma is that latest, and biggest, name to cast his vote in the 2016 local government elections. The ANC leader submitted his ballot in his hometown of Nkandla and was accompanied by his wives. Zuma decided against foregoing the queue and instead waited his turn to make his mark.
The president was in a jubilant mood and said he was happy to have voted and to be among the people. Unsurprisingly, he also did not hesitate to reveal his ballot choice – the ANC.
