Former South African president Nelson Mandela has made an unexpected appearance at the governing ANC party's final pre-election rally.

Wearing an ANC top, Mr Mandela, 90, was cheered by supporters ahead of a speech by party leader Jacob Zuma.

Mr Zuma is expected to become president after Wednesday's poll, the most competitive since the end of apartheid in South Africa in 1994.
