For those of you interested, here's a link to the official election results. The ANC (Jacob Zuma) came through with a 65.9% victory, which was just marginally less then their required 2/3rds majority, which would've entitled them to make uncontested changes to our constitution (thank goodness for free & fair elections!!). While they only reached about 16% nationally, within the Western Cape (our part of the country), the DA came out tops, with just over 50% of the total provincial vote. Well done to Helen Zille and her team!!
I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend, it's rainy and cold in Cape Town and my bed is calling me in a huge way! I've just had soup and bread, followed by braai'ed (BBQ) chicken & salad for dinner with my in-laws. Oh, it was followed by braai'ed marshmallows - delicious, I'm so full I could burst! My child is exhausted, it's nearly 9:30, but there has been so much good wine flowing - it's like a mini wine competition here!! I'll deal with a grumpy child tomorrow!
Catch up again next week with photos! XXX
PS. Also to take this opportunity to let you all know that Mary is really not in good shape. Paul spent the night with her last night and is there again tonight. Her breathing is very irregular and she's not really conscious at the moment. My thoughts are with them non-stop, this is a very emotional time for them all...
