The ruling African National Congress faces its toughest test yet in national elections.
South Africa is preparing for historic elections.
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) has been in power for 30 years, but its dominance over South African politics may be waning.
Millions of voters say they are disillusioned and the country's unemployment rate is the highest in the world.
Violent crime is on the rise and the latest police statistics show that one person dies every 20 minutes.
And ongoing power outages are hurting businesses.
The ANC remains the most popular party, but its support base is shrinking.
So has the one-party majority come to an end?
Could Wednesday's elections open up a new political landscape, with rival parties forming coalitions to govern?
