South Africa votes as government runs twenty-year plan

The ruling African National Congress has set-out its twenty year plan. What are the main issues facing South Africa as citizens go to the polls? 

  

South Africans have been voting today in the national parliamentary and provincial elections.

In the fifth all-race election since white minority rule ended in 1994, it is widely expected that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) will return to power.

Bloomberg’s Nasreen Seria said the ANC's twenty-year plan is to boost the economy by more than five per cent, reduce unemployment and improve competitiveness.
