Vote in the National and ProvincialElections on 22 April 2009

Voting stations open from 7am – 9pm.

Nanima’s advise when voting:

When you vote remember you are voting for a party who will be serving you and a party you are employing(i.e if you pay your taxes). Vote as if you are hiring someone that will deliver and will be the best qualified to do the job. Someone that will have your best interests at heart. If you hire someone to work for you will you hire them because you like them or because they can do the job efficiently and effectively.

This is not a soccer match and you don’t have be loyal and support your team blindly till the end of time.( you will never walk alone)

Choose the party you truly believe and are best qualified to  deliver houses, remove poverty, alleviate crime,  give us better education, health care.Vote for the party you think will benefit the country. Vote for someone you feel has the same values as you have.

If you are happy with the current state of affairs vote as you wish but if you want to see a change then carefully review the candidates and see who you will hire to serve you best. Vote for the party that will make the difference and the change you want to see in the world.

If you not voting,, agh just shut up.. no more complains.. ne’

It is not too late to register for next year’s general election, says the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) ahead of a weekend dedicated to registering voters across South Africa.

Those who have not registered are advised to register at one of 1 500 voting stations, which will be open from 8am to 5pm on the weekend of November 8 and 9.

Courtney Sampson, spokesperson for the IEC in the Western Cape, appealed to all non-registered voters to take this opportunity to register.

Sampson also advised those who were not sure if they were registered to SMS their ID number to 32810 or to visit the IEC website http://www.elections.org.za and enter their ID number to find out if they need to register or change their details.

Please call the IEC toll free on 0800 11 8000 to confirm your correct voting district and station.

We as South Africans must accept the hard-won right to vote.

Our vote can influence the future of our country.

It is a right which we should all exercise as responsible citizens irrespective of who we support.

VOTING REGISTRATION will took place on 8/9 November 2008 countrywide at a venue near you.

If you are you happy with the way South Africa is governed then go vote for the ANC and make sure they stay in power.

If you are unhappy with the way South Africa is governed then vote for any of the political parties that you believe will make a difference in the way South Africa is governed.

If you don’t vote OR believe your vote doesn’t count then stop complaining. You have no right to complain because you did not make an effort to make a difference by using your vote to change the country.
