No results yet

Well, things went well.
This morning people who voted are walking around with a purple thumb. I think it is very clever the way people who vote have their thumb stained with purple ink which is very hard to remove (especially in the little skin around the nail). They do the same but with the index finger in Mozambique.

Apparently there was very few incidents. From what I heard on hte radio it seems that there was one person working at the polling station shot in the leg, but this was because somebody was trying a robbery at the polling station. One woman working at another polling station was arrested when they found that she was carrying a all bunch of already filled in ballots (they never said which party she was "voting" for). And in a suburb of Johannesburg there was a bit of an issue about the ANC giving food and T-shirts and promising a BBQ dinner to those who voted for the ANC, but apparently since they werre more than 100 metres from hte entrance of the polling station it did not break any rules.

People I asked seemed to have waited in line from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Now we wait for the results.
