ANC's decline raises concerns for other liberation movements in SADC. How will South Africa's shift impact regional politics?The end of the dominance of the 112-year-old ANC does not augur well for other liberation movements in the Southern African Development Community – where Namibia, Mozambique, Angola and Zimbabwe are still ruled by the parties which led them to independence.
In recent years, we’ve witnessed military coups which were relatively without bloodshed in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Niger. It was easier for these liberation movements to cement their relationship and use it to foster foreign partnerships at government level. The demise of the ANC’s dominance in the political and electoral ecosystem augurs ill for the survival of the other SADC liberation movements.
However, all this will depend on the new government’s priorities. Still, I strongly believe all the parties, except the ANC, are worried about how President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s party, Zanu-PF, is treating its people.
