While some people waited for hours to cast their votes, a young man found a way to skip the long queue by pretending to be physically impaired.

Snazo Qwabe took to her TikTok account (@snazoqwabe) to share a video of the man showing off his acting skills. At the beginning of the clip, the limping man uses a crutch to exit the voting station. After a few steps, the pretender replaces the staggered walk for a faster pace, not needing the crutch at all.
