ANC loses majority after 30 years
On May 29, 2024, South Africa held elections 30 years after the abolition of apartheid. For many older South Africans, 1994 marked the beginning of a new era: the path to political enfranchisement, the first participation in democratic elections, and the liberation of the black population from decades of oppression, made possible by the leadership of Nelson Mandela and his party, the African National Congress (ANC).
