The African National Congress (ANC), which has led South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994, faces unprecedented challenges with polls suggesting its support may drop below 50 percent.

Africa’s most advanced economy has some of the world’s deepest socioeconomic problems, including one of the worst unemployment rates at 32 percent. Support has been fading. The ANC won 57.5 percent of the vote in the last national election in 2019, its worst result to date. The opposition to the ANC in this election is fierce but fragmented. The two biggest opposition parties, the Democratic Alliance and the Economic Freedom Fighters, are not predicted to increase their vote by anything near enough to overtake the ANC.
Memories of that era, and the defining vote that ended it in 1994, still frame much of everyday South Africa. But fewer remember it as time goes on.
