South Africa elections: 'Democracy means nothing to me'

Voters weigh frustration and loyalty to Mandela's ANC party.

It is 30 years since the end of apartheid in South Africa and Nelson Mandela was elected as the country's first black president. Since then, Mandela鈥檚 party - the African National Congress - has dominated politics, delivering every president.
