Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie cast his vote at a polling station in Kraaifontein, Cape Town, and afterwards said he had \u201cgood advice\u201d for illegal foreigners in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must start packing. Pack your bags, next week you won\u2019t have much time to pack. It\u2019s time to go home.\u201dThe party has campaigned around issues of illegal foreigners, the return of the death penalty and reintroducing conscription for youth not studying or working.<\/p>\n

McKenzie was confident the PA would emerge after the elections as kingmakers, adding he expected the DA in the Western Cape and ANC in the Northern Cape \u201cwill be on their knees\u201d when the results are announced.<\/p>\n

He said IEC officials at the voting station tried to stop him from voting \u201cbecause they said I can\u2019t wear (party) regalia. I asked them to show me that rule. They were unable to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, Good leader Patricia de Lille joined the snaking queue at Pinelands Blue School in Cape Town, arriving decked out in orange, her party\u2019s colours.<\/p>\n

She told journalists she was impressed by the voter turnout. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of South Africans. I\u2019ve been seeing the long queues already and the weather is playing along.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Lille called on those at home to go out and vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe little cross is not just a cross, it\u2019s the value to that little cross. Put that value to your vote. Your vote is your secret, your vote can bring about change, so the value of the vote is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Lille is the premier candidate for the Good party in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n
