Some youngsters in the KwaNkunzi area of oPhongolo in the far north of KwaZulu-Natal, say they might not vote on Wednesday. This as they spend their days digging for gold in an abandoned mine in the vicinity. To avoid conflict and congestion underground, they work in shifts. Each group is allocated about 12 hours to operate, then have to make way for the next group. They say they'd rather use their allocated time to dig for gold, than go to vote. Khalesakhe Mbhense visited the abandoned mine and spoke to the young people.
