Hi, <br><br>Thanks David! Yes, my maximum term of office has been reached and I take this opportunity to thank the Constituency for voting for me and re-electing me for three successive terms. I would happily nominate Molefi Mafereka Ndlovu, Centre of Civil Society, University of KwaZulu Natal, if he agreed to stand for the Africa Rep slot. Happy voting.<br>
<br>Regards,<br> <br>Alex<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 7, 2012 at 8:38 AM, David Cake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave@difference.com.au" target="_blank">dave@difference.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>
