SA Rocks

If crime isn’t a problem in SA and everyone has a job, if poverty doesn’t exist and everyone has food to eat, if every child is educated, not starving and has a roof over their heads and if South Africa is perfect…

then why vote?

The above statement is outrageous. At SA Rocks I have always maintained that I am not blindly and ignorantly positive. I am well aware of the problems facing South Africa but believe that they are problems that we can overcome, as a nation.

This is why today I have launched WhyVOTE?

WhyVOTE is an attempt at rallying people around registration and voting in the 2009 elections.

If this country is perfect in your eyes then why vote? But if you feel that change needs to take place then maybe it’s time you step up to the plate and contribute to your nation.

All the details are available on the site. So head over to WhyVOTE? and spread the word, download the banners and add your voice to the cause.

It’s time that we take back our country and show the world and our government and people how much we believe that SA really does Rock.

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

.
