Fresh face: Salakae

GANTSI: Young voters in Gantsi have taken Noah Serikgweri Salakae to Parliament, pushing him past strong favourite and legislative veteran, Johnnie Swartz in the race for Gantsi North.

The difference in ages between the two contestants for Gantsi North can be seen in the fact that Salakae was only 10 years old when Swartz was first elected into Parliament.

However, over the weekend, the 37-year-old triumphed over his more senior and formidable rival, garnering 3,999 votes against Swartz’s 3,685.
