“But we must remind people that their vote carries the power. “If you vote for a party that doesn’t deliver the promised and sorely needed services, you get the governance that you deserve.” Zille continued her conversation with farmers at a function in Polokwane, where she also spoke to local leaders and businessmen. “It’s vital that politicians see the important impact that land reform and poverty had on the food security in our province,” said Lephalale councillor and farmer Jan van Niekerk.
