South Africa is bracing for a milestone election.
The governing ANC has been in power for 30 years, but its dominance over South African politics could be in jeopardy.
Millions of voters say they are disillusioned.
The unemployment rate is the highest in the world.
Violent crime is on the rise -- the latest police statistics show a person is killed every 20 minutes.
And rolling electricity outages are suffocating businesses, big and small.
The ANC is still the most popular party but its support base is shrinking.
So, has the one-party majority run its course? Could the election on Wednesday launch a new political landscape, with rival parties forming coalitions in order to govern?

Presenter: Elizabeth Puranam

Guests:
Crystal Orderson -- Journalist and host on Cape Talk radio station

Lesego Makhubela -- Spokesperson for the governing African National Congress in Gauteng province

Nqabayomzi Kwankwa -- Opposition MP with the centre-left party the United Democratic Movement
