South Africans are heading to polling booths to vote in a general election that is expected to see the ruling African National Congress of President Jacob Zuma remain in power.
About 22,000 voting stations were opening on Wednesday at schools, places of worship, tribal authority sites and hospitals. Several dozen vehicles were also serving as mobile voting stations.
About 25 million South Africans, roughly half of the population, have registered to vote. That figure however includes only one-third of those eligible who are aged 18 or 19.
Arriving just after 6am this morning to vote at the Ohlange High Schol in the township Inanda, on the outskirts of Durban, where Nelson Mandela himself cast his ballot in 1994, Shandu Thabisile, said she was nervous to vote.
