As South Africa celebrates 30 years of democracy, and citizens headed to the polls on Wednesday, there were numerous images of citizens uniting to cast their vote in the elections.

Amidst reports of long queues and inordinate waiting time, one special image emerged from the Durban City Hall voting station.

A picture captured on the day shows two young gentlemen helping an elderly lady up the steps at City Hall, quite literally demonstrating what the ‘new South Africa’ is meant to be all about.

High voter turnout

IEC’s KwaZulu-Natal electoral officer Ntombifuthi Masinga has notably stated that although the Electoral Commission was “sufficiently resourced” it did not anticipate the sudden surge of voter turnout after lunch on Wednesday.

He also touched on the fact that some voters went home after standing in the queues for too long, and who will not be able to vote in the 2024 general elections if they missed out on Wednesday.

“There is only one voting day in South Africa, outside of the special votes.”

In terms of the overall picture at 13:00 on Thursday, only 4,502 of 23,293 voting districts have completed counting (19.33%) with a total of 2,064,033 votes counted.

The ANC leads the way with 877 935 votes (43.10%), followed by the DA (508 529 votes for 24.97%) with the EFF in third (177 868 votes at 8.73%).

As votes continue to be counted around the country, it will certainly be interesting to note that the ruling ANC could lose an outright majority vote.

The final result is expected over the weekend.

No electoral violence?

No Oluomo boys to decide who should not vote?

there's a character I'm spotting...this thread's about to go south

the ANC is looking like they aren't gonna reach 50%

EFF getting punished for their policies on immigration. Losing 3rd spot. Anti-immigration PA capitalizing from that.

They ought to hold the woman very tight and with utmost respect because if not for white South Africans, South Africa would have been worst than Sudan and Somali.


I just wished Nigeria's Calabar, Plateau, Enugu and Osun were made up of indigenous white Nigerians, they would have helped to build Nigeria through competent judiciary, security and technology and we wouldn't have have a drug lord and looting machine become our President

And I'm liking what I'm seeing - seating on 42%.

Mr "red ground forces" is seeing flames too😂😂

The same whites who left behind a bankrupt, pariah state because they didn't understand democratic principles? They're holding her up exactly like how a black government rescued the SA economy back from the brink in 1994 and brought SA back at the top table of nations - only African country in the BRICS and G20. During white rule SA was an African North Korea.

But i see you're a white worshipper - even openly begging to be recolonized 😂👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Trying to rise to the top using South African people's votes while campaigning for immigrats has got to be by far the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen from a politician.The entitlement mentality is altogether mind-boggling

Dang, deep! 👊🏾

I am sure not a single person died or injured, they had their results on live, no issue with server, no standing under sun like mumu, no thugs beating anybody for exercising their rights, their ballot papers prolly had their candidates pictures in it etc

Everything about Nigeria is backwardness

if you wanted proof that Malema is not as astute as they make him out to be, this is it!! you can't come up with policies the majority is against and hope to get votes.. if McKenzie was EFF they would have quadrupled those votes

Bro, not only disrespectful but shortsighted and dumb. I was listening to Ndlozi speaking just a day before the elections, and you could tell they were beginning to backtrack on their pro-immigrant policies because they could see it's doing them no favours, but it's just too late

Yes oh, we sensible Nigerians are jealous of you black South Africans who are lucky to have white South Africans build a functional nation with some working institutions for you black South Africans. We Nigerians weren't that lucky and it hurts.


If we had up to say 10 million indigenous white Nigerians, believe me, Nigeria won't be as shattered as it is today to the extent that a known drug kingpin, wire wire fraudster and notorious state treasury looter used stolen money to buy his way to become our President. White people would never have allowed such to happen under their watch. You black South Africans should be forever grateful to White South Africans on daily basis.

Maybe because it is the same country that separated them before.

Some of them are not happy with the change of status but apartheid like tribalism only favors one group.

LOL..you're writing a whole bible for a response because I pointed out an obvious truth.? You lots are jealous of everything South African and that's your cross to bear. All your daily insults towards us reek of jealousy and bitterness. South Africa is what Nigeria will never be in the next 1000 years!!

deal with it!! it's about time

Isn't is funny that we are supposedly "slaves" for coexisting with white people and yet at the same token we are "lucky"

So which one is it?

You coons are idiotic

Yup! Claiming to be for the people but ignoring one of the core issues they have been crying about for years was not very smart.

As for Ndlozi,you can always tell he funtions with the battery put on his back by Julius,which is sad to watch because Ndlozi in his own element is a smart guy.

Be grateful for the legacy of the oppressive apartheid system and high levels of inequality?

White worshippers really have their screws loose. Nigeria happened to you 🫤🫤🫤

Do you have comprehension issue bra?

I admitted already that we sensible Nigerians are jealous of you black South Africans' luck of having white South Africans build a functional nation for you blacks. I just wished we had similar opportunity because the current state of Nigeria right now is so pathetic and I am sure if we had up to 5 million indigenous white people in Nigeria, Nigeria wouldn't have descended so low to where it is today

I know the apartheid regime was repressive and oppressive to black South Africans, I do know that, but still, while the white South Africans were practicing apartheid they were busy building solid national foundation, systems and structures in place that South Africa developed on when Mandela finally came on board.



Bra, leave ego aside, without white South Africans, South Africa would have been like Sudan, at best it will be like Zimbabwe and the likes.


You black South Africans don't know what White South Africans did for you guys.


Some of the international systems and platforms and opportunities you guys are enjoying in South Africa are allowed in SA by other Western worlds and white dominated countries simply because of their fellow indigenous white South Africans in SA, not for you blacks.


You guys won't understand anyway

what is it to comprehend from your drivel ?
two things ultimately stand out though
..
1. A deep-rooted envy of South Africans
2. An acute inferiority complex towards white people (which is something you Nigerians always try to project onto us)

the rest
Garbage!
