By Santosh | People in South Africa voted in elections for a new Parliament and nine provincial legislatures.
Reports say there's a possibility the governing African National Congress could lose its majority for the first time since nineteen 94.
As polling began there were lines at numerous polling stations across the nation, some reports said there were delays at some locations.
Over 27 million South Africans are eligible to vote amid an increasingly divided political scene in the country.
Eleven independent candidates and a record 70 parties are running in the federal and local elections.
Unemployment has been one of the most contentious topics on the campaign trail, especially for young people.
According to the World Bank, this is the highest rate globally, with around one-third of job-seeking South Africans presently experiencing joblessness.
