“Nearly half of our citizens indicate that they are lukewarm to participation that can never be in a democracy that is a reality driven. They say by perceived or real political disillusionment and the feeling that institutions are unresponsive to their daily needs.” Moepya also mentioned that young citizens on ages 18 to 24 feel disconnected from politics they see ballot paper as detached from their immediate struggles they say they are struggling with issues of unemployment, infrastructure decay and localized service delivery challenges.
