The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) urges all voters who have registered for special votes to ensure they cast their votes at their voting stations before 5pm today. 

The right to vote was won through generations of struggle with thousands paying the ultimate sacrifice. 

Electing a stable progressive government that is sober and biased towards uplifting working-class communities is key to growing the economy, creating jobs, slashing poverty and tackling crime and corruption.

It is critical that every worker vote and vote for the only party that has stood with workers through thick and thin, the African National Congress.
