We feel it's important that everyone makes an educated vote, no matter who they choose to vote for! Hope everyone comes out to vote in the #southafricaelections

Tomorrow is election day! Have you decided who you will vote for? Climate change is a critical issue, yet few parties have prioritised it in their manifestos. Make your vote count for our planet! #SAElections #VoteForClimate #ClimateActionNow @CJCoalition
