Lentswe, Klerksdorp - Prof Parmi Natesan, CEO, Institute of Directors in South Africa, said South African voters should not waste the power of being able to vote. She said to be an active shareholder in the governance of your country will drive the positive change you wish to see. She compared South African voters to the shareholders in the corporate world. “In the corporate world, responsible shareholders understand the impact of their votes on the company’s trajectory. Similarly, every South African citizen holds the key to the
nation’s future in their hands during elections.’’ Prof Natesan said just as shareholders appoint a board of directors who will act in the best interest of the company, citizens have the right to choose ethical and effective leaders to run the country.
“This analogy underscores the importance of every citizen’s vote in shaping the destiny of our country,’’ she said in urging people to vote in the election on May 29.
