Durban resident, Precious Gumede, who's currently in China, says this was her first time voting outside the country.
"I didn't face any challenges. Even with registration, the IEC was very efficient in giving me the date. The instructions were clear on what I needed to do."
She says she enjoyed meeting other South Africans.
"There is a restaurant called La Burg. It’s a South African restaurant in Shanghai. So, a lot of South Africans got there for lunch after voting. The atmosphere was very nice, the whole unity and everybody speaking positively about the country, and good wishes about the elections. You know, we got a sense of home away from home”.
