EXPATS TO PROTEST AT TRAFALGAR

SOUTH Africans living in London are to mount a placard protest outside the South African High Commission in London on Saturday in support of a growing campaign to allow expats to both register and vote abroad. The New National Party has rejected a scheme introduced by the Independent Electoral Commission last month in terms of which registered voters who will be abroad on the day of the election, will be able to vote at South African foreign missions. The NNP on Thursday took the IEC and the government to the Pretoria High Court to force them to allow South Africans living abroad to register and vote.
