Street vendors and the vote

This is because while the right to vote includes the right not to exercise the vote, universal adult suffrage is the most fundamental tool available to Batswana who are, to be true, disenfranchised in every other sense. For this reason, we find that it would be an exercise in frivolity for anyone to baulk at the ballot box because with the vast majority of Batswana being on the periphery of a highly capitalist economy that is run by a compradore class, they hardly have any other means of expressing themselves politically.
