Madiba spent his life fighting for it and Americans rocked it and put a first lady with serious style onto the world stage... I'm talking about The Vote. The little ink cross that makes a big difference.
The ever-fabulous Drill Sergeant, as responsible a running partner as she is a South African citizen, just peeked out from the super chic Chinese paper fan she was fluttering around her perfectly coifed head, to remind me to REGISTER TO VOTE THIS WEEKEND for the municipal elections.
I have been living under a rock where deadlines breed mould, and seem to have missed this VERY IMPORTANT piece of info (yes, I am blushing while I type this)... And if I have missed it then maybe you have, or maybe you haven't missed it but you're contemplating going for that much needed pedicure instead of queueing to do your Civic DUTY. Doll, the toes can wait...
So, grab your Blackberry with its fab pink cover (or whatever phone you choose to flaunt) and SMS your ID number to 32810. You'll get a super-quick response telling you if you do indeed need to register and, if so, just where you need to do it.
I SMS'd and got a reply almost immediately, turns out I am registered... Hey, at least my conscience is clear. What about yours?
One last guilt trip, in case you're still not on board...
The nation lit candles and poured out its support for Madiba with verbal wishes for a quick recovery. While words are great, I am sure that the 'World's statesman' would agree that ACTIONS are so much better. Give Madiba the 'Get well' gift he really wants from South Africa: VOTE!
Kay, getting off my soapbox now...
