Freedom

Tomorrow, 18th May 2011, South Africans take to the polls in our local government elections.

And though many South Africans are miserable with government service delivery failures, this is also a time for us to appreciate the fact that we have the right to go to our voting stations and influence the future of our country in a free and fair election. Not too long ago we would have to join a banned freedom struggle in order to fight for what we now take for granted.

So, don't think of tomorrow as a day-off. It is a day to go to work for your country by casting your vote.
