Interestingly the IEC is expecting a turnout which exceeds the 66% of 2019 however it was also noted that 42% of registered voters are 18-34-years-old, who like their counterparts all over the world, don't vote at such high rates as their older counterparts.

It is confirmed that the young people of Gauteng are going to turn up in their numbers to ensure that Panyaza is delivered back into power, they believe in him.

I’d be surprised if it’s less then 66%.

What happened to the mother and father of all rallies?

Can’t even fill a stadium anymore. Shem.
 
Going to be great watching the ANC fail epically at the polls on Wednesday. Been a long time coming for these useless POS called the ANC.
 
You would think without having to bus in supporters with offer of free T Shirt and KFC voucher they would be able to fill the stadium to packed capacity with locals. Many saw it as a good time to party.

As early as 10 am buses from different provinces including Limpopo, Free State and Mpumalanga began to flock to the stadium, and supporters made their way inside. Entertainment from some of the country’s biggest musicians was on show as party president Cyril Ramaphosa looked to address supporters in a final rallying call ahead of the elections,
But by 14h00, the 94 000 capacity venue looked half-empty while Ramaphosa took to the podium to deliver the party’s final message ahead of the polls on Wednesday.

As Ramaphosa delivered the address, thousands of ANC supporters opted to gather outside the stadium, some consuming alcohol and listening to loud music.

Quizzed on this, some of the supporters told the Mail & Guardian that there were more people outside the stadium because there was a “vibe” outside instead of inside where the president spoke.

A Limpopo supporter, Pleasure Nghojie said: “We have been here since the morning, we are tired, we just want to drink and enjoy the vibe here in Joburg”.

A further mishap happened when former president Thabo Mbeki appeared in a recorded interview during the singing of the national anthem, announcing that he could not make it to the rally because he had been hospitalised.

This was quickly cut by the production team as it was not meant to be aired on the screen. Scores of supporters continued to leave the stadium while Ramaphosa was speaking.

Haha @TheChamp, the GLM can't even fill a stadium despite bussing supporters from other provinces so some of them can't even vote for Panties. Hahahaha. Chaotic!
