Title: You know you're in South Africa when... Post by: Trevor on August 31, 2016, 08:33:30 AM You go to vote and there is good natured humor among strangers standing in line to cast ballots.
We voted on 3rd August and I got to the polls at around 7 am: fifty people in the queue ahead of me - no worries. I was there for about 20 minutes when I heard a dog bark, turned and I saw that one of the voters had brought her dog along. The election official saw the dog, smiled, walked over to the lady and asked if the dog was registered to vote. :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: You know you're in South Africa when...

I do hope everything turned out ok for you :) Title: Re: You know you're in South Africa when...
