Former president Kgalema Motlanthe has urged all South Africans to exercise their constitutional right and vote in order to shape the future of the country.
Motlanthe cast his vote in Killarney, Johannesburg on Wednesday morning.
“It’s a right that people should value and exercise all the time. If they don’t, those who vote will determine the future of this country.
