Nokululeko Zuma — no relation to South African President Jacob Zuma — is campaigning in rural KwaZulu-Natal for the ruling African National Congress on the eve of the 2014 elections.

There’s water and electricity thanks to the ANC, she told CNN.

The president’s Nkandla home is a political lightening rod, but he denied wrongdoing by benefiting from taxpayer dollars in upgrades to his home.

Loyalty to the liberation party and its leader remain strong, says CNN. But in the cities discontent is growing. The struggle today is not the struggle of yesterday in the first election after Nelson Mandela’s death.

Mmuse Maimane is a leader in the opposition Democratic Alliance. Idenitifying with youngsters is more crucial than ever, he told CNN.

Growing pains continue in this young democarcy. Zuma and the ANC are expected to carry 60 percent of the vote.
