SOUTH Africans go to the polls on Wednesday to vote in the country’s fifth national democratic election.
According to the Electoral Commission of South Africa, 25.3-million of about 31-million South Africans who are eligible to vote had registered to vote.
The 2014 election, which takes place against a backdrop of service-delivery protests across the country and protracted labour strife, is possibly South Africa’s most highly contested since the first democratic election on April 27, 1994.
