An open letter from Gen X to Gen Z voters urges them to embrace the excitement of polling day in 2024. Plus, find out the truth behind the pen myth for South African voters!

Dear Gen Z voters, as a member of the jaded Generation X, I know voting in a general election may not seem like the coolest thing to do. However, I assure you that when polling day arrives in 2024, the excitement and buzz in the air are unmatched. It's a moment where your voice truly matters, and each vote counts towards shaping the future of our country. So, don't underestimate the power you hold as a voter – make your voice heard and rock the vote! Moving on to the IEC's recent dismissal of claims that South Africans must bring their own pens to the polling stations on May 29. Social media buzzed with rumors that voters needed black ballpoint pens, but fear not, this myth has been debunked. The IEC has clarified that pens will be provided at polling stations, ensuring a smooth voting experience for all.
