To the people saying a no vote goes to the anc please read up that is not how our democracy and constitution works not voting does not mean the ruling party gets that vote the lack of education is why we are in the shit we are in
100% that the non vote DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY go to the "ruling party" BUT, it might as well.
Here is an example.
Attending a public meeting in Durban called by Chris Pappas DA Umgeni Mayor, he relayed how the DA came to be the governing party of the midlands and surrounding.....now one of the best municipalities, debt free and growing exponentially FOR THE COMMUNITY. (and no , not tryna punt the DA. A statement of fact for all to do their research)
Long story short .....it took FORTY NINE...
49.... VOTES to realise what is the reality of the Umgeni municipality today
A classroom has more than 49 kids in it of late.
And thus..
Those that say their vote means nothing...it takes ONE vote to swing in the favor of a stronger economy ,ONE vote to favor those that understand the duties of citizenship, ONE vote to secure good governance, ONE vote to realise the promise of a better future and equality for all.
And that ONE vote could be yours.

You taking too literally. It means you're not making the opposite piece of the pie bigger so essentially making the ruling parties piece of the pie bigger. They already have their voters and those voters are going to vote. You not voting is just like giving them the victory or pretty much voting with them in absence.

To be elected, it's literally 50% +1 to be considered a majority vote. Not 1% to make it 51%, 1 vote so as RB said, that one vote could be yours.
It's not rocket science.

No. There's a difference between talking figuratively and just being completely technically incorrect. The way Ahrwen wrote it, for example, is just plain wrong.

My mom and I will be walking up two blocks as always to go to the Primary School halls to cast our votes.
If you can't sacrifice a few hours on a public holiday created for this very reason (mind you) to vote.
You LOST your RIGHTS & the right to: complain about anything related to:
economy, politics, tax & interest, cost of goods & law.
You can't even sigh when you pick up that same bread on the supermarket shelf tomorrow that's now increased in price. Because you did nothing about it.
You should not walk I have an idea.
Quick descend from here.
