Today I went to the voting station early. There was quite an admirable crowd of SA people voting.
It was strange though going to vote and then off to the office.
I must say I appreciated the professional and decent manner in which the consulate handled the morning-rush lines, pity cameras were not allowed, I wanted to take pictures so you could see how vibrant and calm the mood was!
The IEC & Consulate officials were just so pleased to see thina boDarkie in the
lines as well. Wow, their excitement you'd be forgiven for thinking black royalty was visiting. lol
The parking lot was not that vibrant though - you could sense some tension, if not a forever bitterness, from our fellow whites with those usual assumptions and stereotypical thinking about us and our political leaders!
On a serious note I am grateful to that laanie that decided to take this expat voting issue to Concourt. He ensured my right to vote.
Happy voting to all of you next week!
