Have you voted yet?

This is just a friendly reminder to register and vote for the Mother City to get on the board in Hasbro's new World Monopoly game.
I have no doubt that Cape Town's rise to #8 in the World Monopoly competition is due to the push made by the South African bloggers. But it's important to remember that once you have registered you are able to vote once a day for you city of choice. The higher the vote, the more I city will be 'worth' on the final board.
I like the suggestion to include our African brothers Cairo in your voting pool. They are just outside of the top 20 so could do with a little help.
Finally you can also nominate Johannesburg to be included in the wildcard vote. they are currently #11 in this pool.
SA's corporates are even getting into the spirit of things and opening their firewalls to the voting site, good on you guys.

Your vote could get Cape Town on the Monopoly board

Hasbro is creating a World Edition of it's ever popular Monopoly game and have decided to open up the list of cities that coulld make it onto the board to a worldwide vote.

68 cities have been pre-selected, of which only 20 (plus a few wildcards) will eventually make it . Cape Town, is one of the 68 pre-selected cities, but we are not doing to well at the moment, languishing in the middle of the leaderboard but well short of the top 20.

You are able to vote once a day until the 29th February, so it's your patriotic duty to click over to the Monopoly site and cast your vote, preferably daily. In fact take it as your duty to the continent as Cape Town along with Cairo (doing considerably better @ position 15) are the representatives of the African continent.

According to Hasbro, since Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935, approximately 750 million people have played the game, making it "the most played (commercial) board game in the world.

Now, I wonder what they are going to value our mother cityy should we make it onto the board?
