18th May 2011 = Local Election Day in South Africa


All South Africans can vote tomorrow in the local elections.


As a British national living in this wonderful country I'm not eligible to vote, so I plead with you to vote; don't let your vote be waisted.

For me, its not so much about changing the local or national government; its about having a say on issues that impact our lives daily.
Every person, regardless of race, colour or class living in SA have issues that our local and national politicians need to work towards answering.
It might be living conditions for the many who still don't have life's basics like fresh, clean water and a home to live in; it might be rising crime and the state of the roads. Whatever the issue, tomorrow you have a chance to elect people charged with making a difference.'
Don't let the failings of past politicians stop you from giving those standing for election now, a chance.

These local elections may see gains and loses for all parties; my prayer is that, at the very least, these elections will be an eye-opener to those running this country.

Every vote is important!
