Episode description
It's been 30 years since a new era of hope began in South Africa, with the election of Nelson Mandela.
On Wednesday, the country goes to the polls again in an atmosphere where much, if not all, of that hope seems to have disappeared.
Mandela's party - the African National Congress - may well lose its majority for the first time in the history of South Africa's democracy.
But why are voters deserting the party? And where's next for the Rainbow Nation?
Geraint Vincent is joined by ITV News Global Security Editor Rohit Kachroo to tell you, what you need to know.
