"South Africans abroad can vote

Pretoria - South Africans abroad have been granted the right to vote in the country's upcoming elections.

The Pretoria High Court ruled in an urgent application that a portion of the Electoral Act be declared unconstitutional, the SABC reported. This relates to the portion which prevented South African citizens who are living and working abroad from voting.

Section 33.1-E of the Electoral Act was found invalid in terms of limiting the casting of special votes to people who are temporarily out of the country.

According to the SABC, the Freedom Front Plus brought the application on behalf of a South African teacher, Willem Richter, who works in the UK."

Yes that  rule was always contentious ,   meanwhile  criminals .. people  who had committed  crimes against society , not paying taxes , instead a drain on the taxpayer  had the right to vote ..    next  thrust  is  to get them to declare  the prisoners right  to  vote invalid >>  next  one  would be  to  get  them  to  change rule to .. one if  you  have  criminal  proceedings  then you  not eligible   for political office ..  and the  final  one .. NO  MR JZ KANGAMAN  YOU CANNOT   RULE A COUNTRY FROM YOUR JAIL CELL   
observe  Mr  Obama  sacking  his  one  person chosen for office  cos of tax offences.. is ythat not one of the charges against  the  " honourable "  JZ .. Tax evasion??
