Election set for Apr 22
South Africa's general election will be held on April 22, President Kgalema Motlanthe said yesterday.
South Africa's ruling ANC, in power since the end of apartheid in 1994, is widely expected to win the election but it faces an unprecedented challenge from the new Congress of the People (COPE) party.
