SA Rocks

According to the IEC 3.6 million South Africans passed through ±19 000 registration stations over the registration weekend that just passed.

I am fairly impressed I must say.

Apparently a total of 1 648 189 new voters were registered, the rest were people checking their details and changing their voter districts. Again, I am impressed.

The most interesting news that I read at southafrica.info is that SA Citizens can register on any weekday within offices hours at your nearest IEC office.

I am going to repeat this news (probably for the next 6 months):

A Citizens can register on any weekday within offices hours at your nearest IEC office

Today I went to my nearest IEC registration station and changed my registration details from Grahamstown to Johannesburg.

The process was simple, the queues were managed well, the forms were readily available, everything worked perfectly.

I was chatting to someone yesterday who made a really valid point, this is the first time (out of the three) that I have gone to register and have had people actually talking about politics, registration and voting, alot. It’s great to hear, great to see and fantastic to know that politics is no longer one of the things you never bring up at a dinner party.
