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. 5 Likes 2 Shares

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 ![]() 127 Likes 12 Shares |

franchasofficia: 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 😂👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 29 Likes 3 Shares |

IronGalaxy: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. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esala678fI0?feature=shared 1 Like

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. 2 Likes |

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 ![]() 10 Likes 1 Share |

WannaHowzit: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 23 Likes 5 Shares |
