According to the DA Abroad they expect a strong global voter turnout but remain concerned that while voting facilities have been provided at foreign missions, large South African communities have been effectively disenfranchised because of their distance from these missions.
The DA has also provided a list of the top twenty voting stations.

*This is a bit of a joke as most SA expats in Australia live in Perth.
Also remember that in London potential voters could find themselves stuck in a Tube strike. If the strike goes ahead their will be a limited service on some lines, and some stations serving the SA High Commission on Trafalgar Square will still be operating.
