LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS 2016

Hard evidence of a voter in yesterday's Local Governmental Elections

An election in South Africa during winter? According to some commentators it is only the second election in far more than 100 years in South Africa. One of the big six in the ANC Baleka Mbete complained about the elections that were held yesterday in winter time. Sorry, Madam, it was your government that chose this specific date - why where you complaining? 

Election day 3 August 2016 in Sandton a few blocks away from my home

Well, have mercy on the poor lady because she even forgot her Identity book at home and she was sent back to fetch it - click on this link . There is even a short video clip where she acknowledged that she was turned away. I think that was laudable of the election officers who was faced with this formidable woman to turn her away. 

I remind you that even our Constitutional Court turned her actions down - please click on this link to read the Con Court judgement of her actions as Speaker of the National Assembly in parliament.

For the Local Government elections results click on this link. This is a most interesting and very interactive website. I am sure that you will enjoy interacting with it - even if you don't like politics or politicians. 

It seems as if Nkandla is now firmly in the lead ahead of the ANC - click on this link to read everything about that. 

What is my reaction to the elections as a Christian? I am convinced that there are Christians in every party that contested this 2016 Local Government Elections. I am acutely aware of the injunction I find in St. Paul's letter to the Romans in chapter 13: 1 - 7 - that is definitive of my reaction to the present elections and times we are living in. Please click here to read that chapter.

When you read my pages, you will  notice that I am not a follower of the President Jacob Zuma - I have however to obey the rulers while I can legitimately oppose them as well which I did yesterday at the polling booth. I also oppose them in my blog posts. 

Thank you for reading my blog posts. I would however, appreciate it if you would interact with me by writing to me at my e-mail: neelscoertse@wirelessza.co.za
