2011 South African municipal elections

Share

The 2011 South African municipal elections, which are held every 5 years, will be held between March and June 2011. At this election, we will be voting in our local ward councilors for seats at the municipal level.

Remember that every vote is important, even if you feel that your vote is not.

Every single vote has a small impact on the future of your municipality, and of South Africa. Please be sure to register, and please vote. For more information, please visit the IEC website.

Another tough day in Africa

Day 166: Seagull Landing

Share

A seagull caught just as he was landing in shallow water in Zandvlei, Cape Town. It it such a wonderfully calm day today (especially after the howling wind yesterday). I was just walking around the vlei, enjoying the sun on my back, and taking a few shots of the birds.

Here are two more:

And finally, another Seagull in flight. In the background is Park Island with Marina da Gama in the far background.

Go Bafana Bafana!

Share

There are less than 5 hours until the kickoff, and South Africa has gone completely crazy. Everybody is hooting, blowing their vuvuzelas, wearing the yellow and green of our national side Bafana Bafana, all getting ready to support our team in the opening match.

The traders on the street are doing a roaring trade, with lines of cars stopping on the side of the road, hoping to still buy a flag or supporters shirt.

We are going to have a great game, and we are going to show that Africa can put on a great show!

Go South Africa!

Go South Africa!
