More than 29,000 South Africans who are currently abroad, but registered to vote in the upcoming elections, will cast their votes on Saturday, the electoral commission said.

Voting will take place at South Africa’s high commissions, embassies and consulates-general and will be conducted by South African diplomats who have been trained as election staff by the electoral commission.

“Overseas voting will continue for almost 24 hours as voting stations open and then close round the world following the passage of the sun, beginning in Auckland, New Zealand, and ending in the Los Angeles, United States,” said IEC spokesperson Kate Bapela in a statement. “The 29,334 voters who received approval to vote overseas are required to visit the mission indicated on their application and take with them their South African ID document and their valid passport. This year the voting process has been simplified and they will no longer be required to complete a special vote application form before voting,” Bapela said.

Bapela clarified that those voting overseas would only be allowed to vote in the national elections, not the provincial ones.Other votes would be cast at the Hague, Canberra, Abu Dhabi, Wellington, Dublin, Kinshasa, New York and Doha.

Here's why South Africans are struggling to trade in their carsVehicle owners are taking loans over longer terms, with bigger balloon payments left at the end, which force many to drive cars longer than in the past. BISouthAfrica This is partially true, the challenge in trading in a vehicle especially when its fully paid, is that dealerships often value the car to be traded in far lower than its actually worth.
