South Africa is set to hold national and provincial elections on May 29, marking the country’s seventh democratic election since the end of apartheid in 1994.
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC party faces a challenging bid to retain its parliamentary majority.
The upcoming elections coincide with the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s freedom and democracy.
Amidst power cuts, unemployment concerns, and opposition parties gaining ground, the ANC’s historical dominance is at risk, with polls indicating a potential shift in the political landscape.
The election also sees former President Jacob Zuma endorsing a new party, adding complexity to the political dynamics.
