Everyone gets a bit tense, screaming at anyone who may or may not be in the way, and as he leaves there is the obligatory ruck, as everyone attempts to get a pic or an eyefull of the man. But as I have said before its not all that unusual for jobs that include Mandela, you just got to get used to it...

Former South African President, Nelson Mandela casts his ballot with his daughter, Zinzi at the Killarney Country Club , Houghton, Johannesburg. As is par for the course when Nelson Mandela is involved, the entire worlds media was waiting for him to vote, as well as about a billion people with cell phone cameras and even a couple of people that thought they might get a poster signed (Not much chance for that!, I tell you).
