Born-free

 -  noun a member of a generation born in a country after its transition to democracy, in particular, post-apartheid South Africa - Oxford Dictionary.

South Africa will hold its sixth national and provincial elections on May 8. As part of our #Elections2019 coverage, IOL has asked 94 Born Frees for their views on the upcoming elections. Will they be voting? Who influences who they vote for, if anybody? What issue would most affect their decision on who to vote for?

While never having endured the brutality of apartheid, the Born Frees face their own struggles, including high unemployment, access to education and issues around identity.

Watch as we speak to Kay Hendry, a doctor at Mitchell's Plain district hospital.

Kay says: "I someone who can come through on primary healthcare. Working in the poorer communities, and seeing the discrepancies between the elite and those that have nothing you really see how much more we need and how much more we can get in terms of primary healthcare."
