Speaking at the Zandspruit informal settlement in Johannesburg on Freedom Day, Maimane told the community that the only way to change their lives was through the ballot box.Residents recently protested against the lack of electricity, sanitation and housing.Maimane told the community that there was enough bloodshed in the country and that they should not listen to people who are driven by hatred.Maimane said: "Its not about the barrel of the gun, it's about us using our constitutional, democratic order to vote out this government."You can't be listening to people who [say] we must go back to violence. You start violence today you will reap violence in the future. Protesting and burning tyres is your right but you have to vote for the change you want and vote out the government that is failing you."Zandspruit resident Maggie Aphane, 43, said Freedom Day meant nothing to her because living conditions had not changed.She said: "The ANC has failed us. As much as we loved the ANC, it's time for change."There are no basic services here and our children are exposed to the dirt and sewage in the squatter camp and they get sick," said Aphane.Maimane promised residents that their votes would count and change would come with DA mayoral candidate Herman Mashaba and his leadership.Mashaba, who was absent from the DA manifesto launch last week, said he would tackle the lack of basic service delivery in the area.He said he had already written to the SA Human Rights Commission about the living conditions in the area."I have taken this matter up with the SA Human Rights Commission because I cannot wait until the elections to do something about this," said Mashaba...
