27 April 1994

Nelson Mandela votes for the first time in his life.  Mr Mandela casts his vote at the Ohlange High School in Inanda in KwaZulu-Natal.  The school was started by the founding President of the African National Congress, John Langalibalele Dube.   It is South Africa's first non-racial democratic elections ever.  Many South Africans spend hours queuing to cast their votes.   It is a momentous day in the history of South Africa.
