South African Youth Play Critical Roll in Upcoming Election

Young people in South Africa could be the deciding factor in the polls. According to analysts, South African youth are not apathetic but no longer believe that elections are the best way to bring about change. Mthoba Chapi, the regional communication officer for the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, uses his platform to change the narrative and encourage youth participation in the upcoming elections. He spoke to VOA's Paul Ndiho via Skype from Johannesburg, South Africa, for more on the youth voting bloc in South Africa.
