Port Elizabeth - The Democratic Alliance has cleaned up abroad, winning almost 75% of all votes cast outside South Africa, Government Communication and Information System news agency reported on Saturday.
"The party obtained 74.45% of votes cast abroad in South Africa’s sixth national and provincial elections, administered by the Electoral Commission ," GCIS news agency, SAnews said. "The African National Congress took the second spot with 10.83% of the votes followed by the Freedom Front Plus in third place with 4.57% of the vote."
The votes were counted on Wednesday just after polls closed in South Africa. "On Thursday, IEC Chief Executive Officer Mosotho Moepya said there were a number of missions abroad whose votes had not been received by 9pm on Wednesday,". South Africans who live abroad cast their votes on Freedom Day, 27 April, ahead of the 8 May elections.
It’s a drop in the ocean. It’s really insignificant.
Who cares about those losers. They shouldn’t even be allowed to vote. Leave SA and complain but get to cast vote. Piss off whenever you are
So all those guys who went to Australia in disgust of our beautiful country didn't relinquish their citizenship, mxm
I guess DA didnt clean up enough and those who voted for them is gonna stay where they are for another 5 years 😉

Will be right if I say Our_DA Maimane is a president of expats and EFFSouthAfrica Malema is a president of Twitter whilst MYANC RAMAPHOSA will continue governing our country, so let it be.
They lost quite a bit to the FF±. What's interesting is the ANC numbers. Why do people still complain about service delivery then.
