the last all white election held in SA was in fact the yes no referendum in 1992 with a total of 2,804,947 votes cast.
The general elections of 2004 saw 15,612,671 votes cast of which the ANC recorded 10,880,915 votes.
I think that constitutes a majority, don't you?

15 million votes against about 50 million people? Not very good numbers. Not even half the population and believe me there are way more than 50 million people living in SA. The gvt cannot even account for their own people never mind the nations.

Percentage poll was 77%. AFAIK, there are not too many countries were voting is not compulsory that exceed this percentage. Remember that more than half the population is below the age of eighteen and so ineligible to vote, anyway.
Where will you be? catching the first flight out, i'm already loughing. not worth it
Just because you live in SA it doesnt mean you are eligible to vote.
