Today is Election Day across South Africa, and we thought we’d put a little playlist together, that reflects parts of the current political climate of the country. Some of the songs here are hopeful, abrasive, pensive and angry. Some of the songs featured are South African and some are international, yet they still correlate to South Africa both past and present. Those who are going to the polls today, we wish them well in their voting endeavors and we hope everyone has made an educated decision on who they will be voting for. Those who have chosen not to participate in voting, we hope that this playlist will inspire them to go out there and be active, during this day of significance in the history of South Africa’s young democracy
