Political leaders humbly joined the long queues leading into voting stations yesterday for the local government elections across the country. Former deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe, accompanied by his wife, Gugu, walked to the back of the queue at Killarney Country Club to cast their votes."It's the right thing to do. When we speak to our constituents we emphasise this principle," Motlanthe said.An unidentified man had to be removed from the voting station for heckling Motlanthe.The man was heard shouting "How do you sleep at night, sir?" as the former leader addressed the media.Former president Thabo Mbeki swapped his ride for walking shoes as he made his way to vote at the Holy Family College in Parktown, Johannesburg. He was escorted to the voting station by an entourage of bodyguards.Mbeki wouldn't reveal who he had voted for and told the media that his vote was "his secret"."The reason votes remain a secret is it ensures the integrity of the electoral system and makes sure that people can vote freely and not feel intimidated."In Cape Town, Anglican Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu bypassed the voting queues at Milnerton High School, but nobody seemed to mind.In Roodepoort, DA leader Mmusi Maimane lost his spot in the line while conducting interviews with journalists.In Polokwane's Seshego township, EFF leader Julius Malema walked hand in hand to the Mponegele Primary School to cast his ballot with his aunt, Raisebe Lekgau, 83, and his wife, Mantwa. ..
