South Africa's parliament will select a new president for the country tomorrow.

African National Congress leader Jacob Zuma is expected to win the vote.

A song that has featured prominently in Zuma's campaign is a tune that inspired anti-apartheid activists in the 1980s.

It's called "Bring Me My Machine Gun."

That's also the name of a new book by Alex Russell about South Africa's future.

Let's listen now to an excerpt, dramatized by BBC producers in Johannesburg.

The setting is a political rally in 2007 -- as an adoring crowd cheers the arrival of Jacob Zuma.
