South Africa president Ramaphosa votes in general elections in Soweto. IMAGES
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa arrives to cast his vote at a polling station in Johannesburg. His ruling ANC party has been in power since 1994 and is favourite to win despite corruption scandals, sluggish economic growth and record unemployment.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa says he has "no doubt" that the electorate would "once again" back his ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the country's general election. "I have no doubt whatsoever in my heart of hearts that the people will once again invest confidence in the African National Congress to continue to lead this country," he says after casting his vote in Soweto, just outside Johannesburg.

South Africans vote in what may be the most consequential election in decades, as dissatisfaction with the ruling ANC threatens to end its 30-year political dominance. 27 million registered voters called to elect a new parliament, which then chooses a president, for the first time since the advent of democracy in 1994, the African National Congress is at risk of losing its outright majority and could be forced to negotiate a coalition.

The African National Congress (ANC) conference starts in Johannesburg as some 4,500 delegates, from all across of South Africa, gather to chose their next party leader. "Viva ANC", shouts President Cyril Ramaphosa, who hopes to be re-elected as ANC leader a few days after he dodged impeachment in a parliament vote. IMAGES
