And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Af: Die sonlig skyn helder deur die vensters van die stemlokaal in Kaapstad. En: The sunlight shines brightly through the windows of the polling station in Kaapstad.
Af: Herfsblare lê gestrooi oor die ingang. En: Autumn leaves are scattered across the entrance.
Af: Die vars herfsbries waai saggies binne toe mense die deur oopmaak. En: The fresh autumn breeze gently blows in as people open the door.
Af: Dis stemdag, en die energie in die kamer is tasbaar. En: It's voting day, and the energy in the room is palpable.
Af: Voters beweeg geduldig tussen die stembusse, en onder hulle is Pieter. En: Voters move patiently between the ballot boxes, and among them is Pieter.
Af: Pieter is in sy vroeë dertigerjare, 'n bietjie vergeetagtig, maar altyd goedhartig. En: Pieter is in his early thirties, a bit forgetful, but always kind-hearted.
Af: Hy het een doel voor oë: om sy stem vinnig te wys want Anika, die vrou vir wie hy 'n sagte plekkie het, sal dalk sien hoe pligsgetrou hy is. En: He has one goal in mind: to cast his vote quickly because Anika, the woman he has a soft spot for, might see how dutiful he is.
Af: Sy donker hare hang los oor sy voorkop terwyl hy deur die kamer beweeg, met 'n effense rooi op sy wange. En: His dark hair hangs loose over his forehead as he moves through the room, with a slight redness on his cheeks.
Af: Maar Jaco, sy dromerige vriend, is ook daar. En: But Jaco, his dreamy friend, is also there.
Af: Hy het altyd 'n grap in die mou. En: He always has a joke up his sleeve.
Af: Vandag is geen uitsondering nie. En: Today is no exception.
Af: Jaco het 'n pen in Pieter se sak gesit wat, in plaas van stemmerke, klein prentjies teken. En: Jaco placed a pen in Pieter's pocket that, instead of marking votes, draws little pictures.
Af: Nader aan die stembus, begin Pieter sy stem uitbring. En: Closer to the ballot box, Pieter begins to cast his vote.
Af: Hy druk die pen op die papier, vasbeslote om geen fout te maak nie. En: He presses the pen to the paper, determined not to make any mistakes.
Af: Skielik merk hy iets vreemds op. En: Suddenly, he notices something strange.
Af: In plaas van 'n netjiese X, verskyn daar 'n pragtige klein blommetjie. En: Instead of a neat X, a beautiful little flower appears.
Af: Pieter se oë rek van skok. En: Pieter's eyes widen with shock.
Af: Hoe gaan hy Anika indruk maak as hy nie eers ordentlik kan stem nie? En: How is he going to impress Anika if he can't even vote properly?
Af: Klaar ingedagte oor sy dilemma, probeer hy vinnig om die tekens uit te vee. En: Already preoccupied with his dilemma, he quickly tries to erase the marks.
Af: Maar elke poging veroorsaak net meer prentjies. En: But every attempt just causes more pictures.
Af: 'n Koddige karikatuur van die hoofkandidaat verskyn skielik op die papier, met 'n oorbekende neus en brutale glimlag. En: A comical caricature of the main candidate suddenly appears on the paper, with a recognizable nose and cheeky smile.
Af: Anika, wat naby houite, sien die gesukkel en kan nie help om te lag nie. En: Anika, standing nearby, sees the struggle and can't help but laugh.
Af: Haar lag is klankryk en vriendelik, en dit vul die kamer. En: Her laughter is resonant and friendly, and it fills the room.
