As promised, your correspondent did it the hard way today. First up was the 'rural long distance walk' or in this case it was the urban version...
Beginning with second look in at Charter House (Little Falls) where it was still fairly quiet, no more than 70 people. Then down to Panorama Primary School (Voting Station for Weltevreden Park) where it was very quiet. no more than 7 vehicles outside (as well as another 6 belonging to election officials and party personel). Inside were no more than 15 voters. (11h30 SAST approx).
What was very clear from the publicity banners outside the venue, and in the surrounds, was these are both strong Democratic Alliance (DA) wards. At Panorama, a solitary sign for the ANC on the back of a party vehicle, and a lonely looking couple representing the Freedom Front, one would have though suspected there were any other candidates for this ward.
