Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - South Africans living abroad voted in missions around the world this past weekend.

The Electoral Commission expressed its gratitude to the scores of South Africans who voted from May 17 to 19 in the 2024 National Elections. Around 78 000 citizens living overseas could vote in 111 South African missions across the world. 

In some instances, voters had to endure intemperate weather, wait in queues for extended periods, and travel significant distances. In the USA, former Klerksdorpian Ylani Stoltz and her husband, Ryk drove 15 hours to Washington DC to cast their vote “hoping for a better future’’.

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Prof Parmi Natesan, CEO, Institute of Directors in South Africa, said South African should not waste the power of being able to vote. She said to be an active shareholder in the governance of your country will drive the positive change you wish to see.

She compared South African voters to the shareholders in the corporate world. “In the corporate world, responsible shareholders understand the impact of their votes on the company’s trajectory. Similarly, every South African citizen holds the key to the nation’s future in their hands during elections.’’
