TOPSHOT - Residents of a former hostel complex observe voters queuing at a polling station during South Africa's national and provincial elections in the Kwamashu township, in the outskirts of Durban on May 8, 2019. - South Africans began voting today in national elections which the ruling ANC, in power since 1994, is favourite to win despite corruption scandals, sluggish economic growth and record unemployment.
