How many votes could the ANC of lost
December 21, 2008 by evl
I was just thinking this morning that if everyone that has left the country because of corruption and crime could vote, there would be thousands if not hundred thousands of extra votes for other parties.
Most people probably left because of the ANC's way of ruling or rather not ruling the country. First there was Mbeki that did not have a clue what was going on and now there is the second half of the ANC with the Zuma crowd and who knows what will happen next year.
If everyone came back that emigrated and moved to other countries we would have a massive chance of breaking this 2/3 majority.
But I know that wont happen. To be honest if I could of emigrated I would of done so long ago.
Lowering the flag in Matjiesfontein
December 3, 2008 by evl
They still lower the flags every night at Matjiesfontein and raise them up again in the morning, just like they have done for the past 100 years. The best view of Matjiesfontein is on the roof where you can see for almost 100 km and the sunset is magnificent.

Nice view of Helderberg from Gordons Bay
August 7, 2008 by evl
Imagine standing up in the morning and looking at this. Lots of people that live in Gordons Bay do. I think if I would buy a house it would be in Gordons Bay, not that its likely. We have some steep prices here in Helderberg. I guess property is not everyone's game.
Anyway I like how this photo is not all that plain and the grass and sky brings in colour.
Dangerous trucks close to Colesberg
July 28, 2008 by evl
This is part of the roadtrip series
There is some wild drivers in South Africa and just before entering Colesberg we got this photo of two trucks passing each other. Probably on their way from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
But this scene you wont see at night, well you might but I think its safer to drive at night.
The scary part is sometimes these trucks pass on both sides of the road at the same time oncoming each other.
Anyway, driving for 10 hours through the night you're greeted by these things in the morning.
Mountains of Helderberg.
July 15, 2008 by evl
This is the first photo I really like that I have posted here on Helderberg Photoblog. It was taken just yesterday in the morning when it was so misty. It's strange how most photos come out very blue of the Helderberg area. On a windy day you can see these mountains clearly. Except for that this is one of my favourite photos so far on this blog.
You can also see the snow on the mountains in the background. I think you can also see those mountains from Franschhoek or it might even be the Franschhoek mountains.
