UJ SRC ELECTIONS MAKE A VOTE AND BE HEARD






Make a vote and be heard

As we are approaching the time of electing our new campuses SRC as well as UJSRC representative for the year 2013, every student will vote but some won’t vote for some different reasons am asking myself if which party will win this year elections. Last year we sow many student in the four campuses going out to cast their votes,  as  SASCO and the ANCYL still remain leaders of the pack. About 10000 votes were cast in last year’s elections, Kingsway - the biggest campus - saw more than 4300 votes cast, About 0 votes were cast in Doornfontein and another 2141 on the Bunting Road campus,  Soweto saw 1300 students vote  And the winners? SASCO won all the portfolio positions outright as well as two positions for the overall UJSRC. The ANCYL took Kingsway campus, winning every campus portfolio and both UJSRC positions. Second place for every position was a tight contest between SASCO and the DA Students Organisation. 

  

This year's SRC elections were run and monitored by the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa.
Your vote is your secrete

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is the  permanent body created by the Constitution to manage free and fair elections at all levels of government. Although publicly funded and accountable to parliament, they are independent of the government. Makobe is theIndependent Electoral Commission  (IEC) official coordinator said: They are ready to run this election smoothly and fairly in the past few weeks they were around the four campuses doing workshop regarding on how to vote because some students  do not know how does ballot paper look like. John Smith a 3rd year BA Marketing student also said “that these IEC workshop really helped a lot because for the past few years he was making mistakes when he votes, but now he won’t make a mistakes thanks to the IEC and the UJSRC for giving students like me this kind of opportunity MY VOTE IS MY VOICE.” In every corner of the four campuses you see student wearing their T-Shirt of different societies. My question is who will win these elections this year.

  6. When it comes to politics one wants to be careful but it is hard because we are given promises and never know if these promises will be fullfilled so we end up gambling on our votes. Let the Best Party win and May it deliver.
