My Democratic Right



On Wednesday the 22nd of April I voted for the second time as a South African citizen. Along with 15528688 other South Africans I shared in this democratic right.

South Africans and the IEC set an example for how elections should take place on African soil when compared to recent elections held in Zimbabwe and Kenya.

The ANC party headed by controversial leader Jacob Zuma have reached 10 million votes and seems to be heading for a 2/3 majority. All eyes will be set on the man Jacob Zuma to see what happens next.
During the week while we were out voting for our next President an attempted assassination took place on the Prime Minister of Lesotho Bethuel Pakalitha Mosisili.

Tomorrow I am heading to Lesotho and the Drakensberg for 12 days. I am really excited to go traveling again and will this time be heading north with my parents.
