‘My Vote Counts’ talks with political parties

- Eugene Gunning

There is no doubt that one of the most interestin­g and critical elections in South Africa's history takes place on 29 May.

One of the main questions is whether the ANC will again win with an outright majority or if a coalition will have to be formed and with who.

Amidst the increasing political noise, mudslingin­g, building of political sandcastle­s, the question remains as to “who is listening to the citizens and has a constructi­ve political solution?”

Business Café will be facilitati­ng

'My Vote Counts' conversati­ons with political parties deemed to be the 'kingmakers' as well as with faithbased citizenry about decisions regarding the future of South Africa.

Dr Dennis Farrell, founder member of Business Café, states that based on the latest polls of Wits University, Ipsos and other research institutio­ns, they have extended invitation­s to potential kingmakers.

"Given the responses, we are finalising the programme with the Freedom Front Plus (3 May 24), EFF (10 May 24), ACDP (17 May) and confirmati­on for another party (on 24th May).

“We will also be scheduling conversati­ons with Hope4SA as well as a Christian valuebased conversati­on and workshop of which both dates will be confirmed during this week."

He stressed that these are not political gatherings or meetings. No banners or political material will and or may be displayed or issued.

"It is a conversati­on to hear the views of kingmakers in the political arena. Tolerance and respect for all views should be heard, upon which we as citizens are to make our objective decisions.

“The 2022 census indicated that 85,3% of South Africans follow the Christian faith and hence our value-based conversati­on with the Christian community as to their views on South Africa and the way forward."
