South Africa Faces Historic Political Shift as ANC's Dominance Wanes
TL;DR Summary
South Africa's upcoming election could mark the most significant political shift since the end of apartheid in 1994, with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) facing declining support due to high unemployment, poverty, and corruption scandals. While the ANC is expected to remain the largest party, it may lose its majority and need to form coalitions, potentially ending its dominance in post-apartheid governance. The election will see nearly 28 million registered voters decide the makeup of the national Parliament and provincial legislatures, with over 50 parties contesting.
