South Africa Head for the Polls

By Mei Kin Chew

A new wave of excitement is sweeping across the entire South Africa. It is going to be an extremely competitive general election, perhaps haven't been seen since 1994.

Some of the concerns include that the new voters were young and did not experience or witness the events that took place that led to the almost universal suffrage at South Africa at present day.
A split between a previous party that only had a single competitor made this election even more interesting as the new party battles for votes with the two older parties. With a new generation of voters and new parties and ideologies involved, the election will definitely change the political scene in South Africa.

Political commentator call it the "cultural revolution". But, is it that easy? Is there something more to it that we, as the outsider might have missed out on? The cultural revolution might have happened since early 2000 and this election might just set a stronger platform for that purpose.
