Elections Special: Nelson Mandela Casts his vote0 comments

South Africa’s first black president Nelson Mandela, 90, has voted in the country’s fourth democratic elections,15 years after his election ended white minority rule.

Mandela walked, aided by a local politician, into the voting station to massive cheers and smiled and waved at crowds before casting his ballots.

The Nobel Peace Laureate made a rare public showing on Sunday by coming out in support of the ruling African National Congress at a final election rally alongside controversial presidential frontrunner Jacob Zuma.
