As part of Newzroom Afrika’s election coverage, we bring you a special five-part series: Where to Next - Road to The Presidency, where senior reporters travel across the country to find out what issues are affecting South Africans.
In today's episode, Malungelo Booi kicks us off in the Eastern Cape where he finds a community isolated, yet determined to vote. Ziyanda Ngcobo looks at how criminals are exploiting the country's

The crime in Manguzi is really bad. My heart is still sore from this cause me and my family were victims of this crime for numerous times and got to a point where we had to relocate. People are still suffering till this day. It has even gotten worse now cause the criminals have become more and more heartless, they are always ready to kill. People are fleeing their homes and going to places where it’s safer because of the criminals. My heart breaks every time I see it on the news and nothing is done by National government!!💔💔💔😢

Most painful is the fact that, out of all this disappointment and poverty, they are bound to vote their abusive spouse. 😔

Hayini bethuna sanudlala ngabantu. This is sad.One lady says she doesn't even think that the late President Mandela was out of jail. She still thinks he is still in prison. These words have a big meaning. l think I know what she means about it.
