Primrose Sonti

"I don’t know how it happened but I know that the community voted for me. I had won the area but on the day I was going to sign at the mayor’s office I couldn’t.”"

"I used to work so hard for [the ANC] here in Wonderkop. I helped at the community centre where people came with their disputes and problems and we would sort them out. Election time I was on the front line, giving my time and sleep,”"

"I know I am nothing but I will do good in Parliament. Even without an education, I know what people on the ground go through every day. I went through that all my life.”"

"These were young men I knew. Some of them had come to me for advice and we were building a community here together.”"
