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>
