This is another one of those ridiculous Facebook popularity contests where unless you have access to multiple Facebook accounts and can get more than 100 votes to be in the top four then don't bother entering. The winner of the trip around Sth Africa will be chosen only from one of the top four photos. The only good thing about this contest is that it doesn't include flights.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bench-International-Africa-Experts/266681942164?sk=app_451684954848385&brandloc=DISABLE&app_data=chk-56147e4a395d3Tell us how your photo symbolizes the essence of South Africa!
