Is everyone registered to vote?

[Hype Man]
Let's choose a new party!
[buildup]
[guitar solo]
[Verse 1]
The elections are nearing, the tension's high
South Africa's future's up in the sky
ANC's got troubles, their fate's unclear
But can a new party bring some cheer?
[verse 2]
The scandals are many, corruption galore,
The voters are thinking "We can't take no more!"
So mainstream parties better watch their backs,
'Cause populists are comin' with radical attacks!
[Bridge]
Whether leftists or rightists or somewhere between,
Everyone's promising an overhaul scene.
Economic, political, you name the sphere,
They'll vow the reforms that citizens cheer!
[Verse 3]
There's the ANC, the DA, and EFF
Each one vying for the political heft
The Freedom Front Plus and the IFP
Are also in the mix, for all to see
These parties are battling for the people's trust
But who will win, is a matter of guess
As South Africans head to the polls in May
The future of their nation is at play.
[Chorus]
What comes next? It's anyone's guess!
This ballot box drama's a big ol' mess.
Coalition curry or majority stew?
One thing's for sure, it's a populist brew!
