Thousands of South Africans cast their votes in Trafalgar Square

The queue to get into the polling booth inside was about three hours long; some wore Springbok jerseys, others red Economic Freedom Fighters berets, green African National Congress bucket hats or blue Democratic Alliance stickers.

South African academic administrator Adam Habib, Director of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, took to X to share a series of photos showing how many people turned out to vote in London. Habib explained that he expected the process to be quick in and out, but the queue in front of him indicated otherwise.

‘South Africa house in London this morning for the general election. I thought that I would go down quickly in the morning and vote easily. I realised my vote – like my country – is going to take time and work,’ he tweeted.that there were 70 staff members working inside South Africa House and 20 outside, processing 24 000 registered voters, the highest deployment of any voting station.

Tebello Mosikili, co-chair of Natjoints, says the focus will be on provinces with a history of election disruption.‘When we developed the plan, we looked at the previous, the current intelligence, the climate, the maturity of our electorates, and we plan accordingly,’ he explained. ‘So, I don’t want to downplay any of our 9 provinces to say this one is better than the other, but we do have different levels of our focus in those.
