In South Africa, the African National Congress has lost its majority after last week’s election. The ANC, which has been in power since the end of apartheid, won just 40% of the vote, marking the first time the party that was once led by Nelson Mandela will not hold outright power in 30 years. The ANC, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, must now attempt to build a coalition with other parties. This is ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula.

Fikile Mbalula: “Over the next few days, the ANC will be having discussions within the organization and then with other parties and stakeholders on our best to establish national and provincial governments that reflect the will of the people and that are able to take the country forward.”

We will go to South Africa later in the program.
