South Africa in post-Mandela vote

South Africans are voting in general elections as the country marks 20 years since the end of white-minority rule. The African National Congress (ANC) is tipped to win, returning President Jacob Zuma for a second five-year term. These are the first elections since the death in December of Nelson Mandela, the country's first black president. Correspondents say voting has begun smoothly with long queues and there is an air of excitement, especially amongst first-time voters. Those born after the end of apartheid in 1994 are casting their first national ballots, although only a third of those entitled to do so have registered to vote. Correspondents say police have been deployed to areas where there have been scene of violent protests and political tensions, according to BBC.
