PRETORIA — South Africans will go to the polls for the country's sixth democratic election today. After a hotly contested election campaign, the politicians will fall silent while voters get the chance to give their say on who they want to rule the country. The first two days of special votes were marred by some incidence of violence and disruption by protestors about services delivery, but the IEC's Sy Mamabolo says the special voting has helped the IEC to fix glitches. 22,924 voting stations will be open from 7 in the morning until 10 at night for the country's 26.7 million voters. - Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.
