President Zuma to face test of his Presidency 

South Africa's Jacob Zuma  will  face a test of his Presidency when voters turn out for local elections  today which is  seen as the most significant in decades.  

Mr Zuma's African National Congress has dominated the political landscape since the first all-race elections in 1994.  

But he has had to weather scandal, after being ordered to repay taxpayers' money spent on his private home.  

Polls show the ANC may lose three key cities in today's poll in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
