South Africa's ANC Faces Unprecedented Election Challenge After 30 Years of Rule
As the nation marks three decades of democracy, the ruling party confronts declining support amid economic woes and corruption scandals.
- The ANC's dominance since 1994 is threatened by voter dissatisfaction with corruption, unemployment, and energy crises.
- Former President Jacob Zuma's new party and the Economic Freedom Fighters are notable challengers in the upcoming election.
- Polls suggest the ANC may fail to secure a majority, potentially leading to a coalition government for the first time.
- President Cyril Ramaphosa's efforts to address corruption and economic issues have not fully restored public confidence.
- The outcome could reshape South Africa's political landscape and influence its foreign policy direction.
