Today is our day, South Africa!

If you don't vote today, you don't get to complain or have a view on what's happening in our beautiful country. It's as simple as that.

Get out there and do the right thing. Our futures depend on all of us having strong voices and forcing those in charge to recognise that they are in a competitive market where performance is noticed and either rewarded or punished.

To help entertain you in the voting queue today, this is a special edition of Ghost Mail that only includes podcasts for you to listen to while you wait to vote. I'll be back tomorrow with Ghost Bites as per normal.

The first podcast is a hot off the press: a Ghost Wrap covering Balwin's latest deal in KZN, improved egg profitability at Quantum Foods, troubles at De Beers, the brave dividend increase at Tiger Brands and ongoing global growth at Bidcorp. Enjoy it here>>>

The second podcast is a look at Walmart and Under Armour, presented by yours truly and my partner in Magic Markets, Mohammed Nalla. As much as we are all feeling patriotic today, it's foolish not to consider global investment opportunities. Magic Markets makes it vastly easier for you to stay abreast of global company news. The latest episode is brought to you by Future Forex and is available here>>>

And finally, with the election theme firmly in mind (and over 60 nations going to the polls this year), the latest Investec No Ordinary Wednesday podcast features Investec Wealth & Investment Chief Investment Strategist Chris Holdsworth sharing his insights on the election outcomes that matter most to markets. Listen to the show here>>> 

That's it for today. Let's go out there and participate in something that many countries can only dream of: a free and fair election in a successful democracy.
