Digital Apartheid
I started www.digitalapartheid.com, in response to the IEC website that doesn’t support Firefox.
The issue is much Bigger than you think …
- The website does not comply to Open Standards
- The website only works on Microsoft Internet Explorer
- The website only works on Microsoft Windows
The Website excludes the Following people
- People that use Firefox, Safari and Opera
- People that use Operating Systems like Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris
- People that only access the Web via their Cellphones
People can’t use the Website that They have paid for.
So … like I said there and I’ll say again :
If the website http://www.elections.org.za/ does not work in Mozilla
Firefox, I would be strongly motivated to give up my constitutional right
to vote. Fellow South Africans who fought in the struggle would have died
in vain if I can’t fulfill this right. They died so that I could live in a
Free and Democratic South Africa, not in a South Africa governed by Digital
Apartheid.
