South Africa is set to hold a pivotal national and provincial election on May 29, as announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday. This election is considered highly significant, potentially marking a historic turning point for the country. The African National Congress (ANC), which has been in power for 30 years since the end of apartheid, faces a serious challenge to its majority. High unemployment rates, failing infrastructure, and rampant crime have fueled opposition parties' campaigns, declaring it time to end the ANC's reign. Polls suggest that the ANC could lose its majority for the first time, making this election one of the most closely watched in South Africa's recent history.
