"We are delighted to team up with MXit to offer another voting platform that is much simpler than voting online, and at 20 Moola (20c), much more accessible for the youth than voting by SMS. We believe this will give the campaign an incredible boost and significantly increase our chances of making it into the final 7," says New7Wonders campaign manager Fiona Furey.
In order to vote, all you need to do is follow these 5 easy steps.
1. Download MXit on your mobile phone (http://m.mxit.com)
2. Go to 'Tradepost'
3. Access 'MXit Cares'
4. Click on 'My Culture'
5. Add 'Vote 4 Table Mountain' as a contact
Once this is done, you can vote as many times as you like. With only a few months left until the final 7 are announced, the Table Mountain Committee is urging all South Africans and visitors alike to set some time aside and vote for our flat-topped wonder.
Table Mountain is one of 28 natural sites from around the globe competing to be named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, a contest which aims to raise awareness of the incredible variety and beauty of nature around us.
Juan du Toit, executive head of business development and marketing at MXit said, "We are a true South African product and are privileged to be part of this exciting campaign. The public can access this voting service free of charge, and start supporting Table Mountain now."
You can also cast your vote for Table Mountain by visiting www.votefortablemountain.com or SMS "Table" to 34874. SMSs cost R2 each and voters can vote as often as they like.
