I hope they have the brains to vote for any other party than the rotten ANC 😢😢

Are you an EFF or MKP supporter then?

[@reuben7594]

Feel Good - just cast my vote - hope it makes a change - spent 3.5hours in queue. lovely banter with fellow voters. very smooth process.

Thanks to South Africans abroad in UK making sacrifices to vote

Lot of DA voters in London

[@nomadicleopard]

What makes you think they are DA voters?

[@derosime]

@@nomadicleopard apart from the other parties that have white members.. U can tell a lot of them will vote for DA, I doubt if any will vote for the ANC, Eff. Unless they are part of the people stealing the country moneys and they have big deals with ANC governments.

you mean those that have a brain?

middle class people. same here in paris (regardless of race) - its people who know the most important thing you want for a government is to not be corrupt

Thank you to all of you for doing whatever you could, Makha😢

very easy to vote in paris as well. really professional & excellent service from our embassy. proudly SA 🇿🇦

[@lorna5016]

So sorry to you Makha, for the violation of your constitutional right.

[@makhangel]

I’m sorry too Lorna5016, and thank you. Your sympathy is so much more than I got from the IEC. But it makes me worried, how many other voters are not getting to practice THEIR right as well?! Oof.

[@lorna5016]

@@makhangel Indeed, very troubling. Especially considering all the efforts you would made to enable yourself to vote and participate in shaping your countries future. Really is troubling.

[@fenellarayner7644]

It was very disappointing that so many South Africans living in Perth, Australia were unable to vote because we had to travel to Canberra to vote. Perth is on the west coast. Canberra is on the east coast. We had to fly to Canberra to vote. The flight is approx. 4 hrs.

I hope the Expats value the national flag. They would not dare burn it irrespective of their political beliefs. I would like the Expats to take a clear stand on that and vote accordingly.

Subjective Patriotism, while those who are complaining inside SA about the nonsense going on including illegal immigration are labelled “Xenophobic.”

South Africa is prone to face the Gaza situation in future, we should be very careful.

[@alkebulanafricanconversati1728]

True

[@Just.Phillip]

My man thats what i always tell my Black South Africans. Already GAZA situation is already started...Whites owning huge hectors of land which they didn't buy, they took it from the previous government after 1994. Black people will end up with nothing and they will use their own army and support from the west to take everything in South Africa.

The ANC hates everyone. They are not racist in that regard.
