The African National Congress, or ANC, the party that has ruled South Africa since the end of apartheid, suffered its worst
losses in last week’s local elections held nationwide. With all of the votes counted, the main
opposition party the Democratic Alliance won 43 per cent of the votes while the ANC had 41 per
cent.
Nelson Mandela’s ANC came to power in the first national election for all South Africans in 1994. But current president Jacob
Zuma is under great pressure to step down due to charges of dishonest behaviors.
The Democratic Alliance, which named its first black party leader last year, angered the ANC last month by declaring that
it was the only party that could realize Mandela’s dream of a great and united South Africa.
In a short speech shortly before final results were announced, 74-year-old Zuma thanked South Africans for a vote he called
largely peaceful, free and fair.
