POLITICS IN SOUTH AFRICA
This article is about the leading party in our country (SA). The republic of South Africa is a parliamentary representative democratic republic. The President of South Africa serves both as head of the state and the head of government. The President is elected by the National Assembly and must retain the confidence of the Assembly in order to remain in office. South Africans also elect provincial legislatures which govern each of the country's nine provinces.
Since the end of apartheid in 1994 the African National Congress (ANC) has dominated South Africa's politics. The ANC is the ruling party in the national legislature, as well as in eight of the nine provinces ( Western Cape is governed by the Democratic Alliance). The ANC receives 62.15% of the vote during 2014 general elections. It had received 62.9% of the popular vote in 2011 municipal election. The main challenger to the ANC's rule is the Democratic Alliance led by Mmusi Maimane which received 22.23% of the vote in 2014 election.
Other major political parties represented in Parliament include the EFF and IFP, which mainly represents Zulu voters. The former dominant new national party, which both introduced and ended apartheid through its predecessor the National Party, disbanded in 2005 to merge with the ANC. Mr Jacob Zuma served as President of South Africa since May 9, 2009 until his resignation in February of 2018. Zuma was replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa, who is also the president of the ANC. The country's next general election will be held in 2019
I hope for the better on the next coming election which will take place in 2019, may people elect a part that will be best to serve the member of this country for the good not for their own agendas or benefit....

The current President had to fix all the damages caused by the former President Jacob Zuma in order for the African National Cogress to continue a rulling party and they must work harder and mobilise inorder to win the upcoming elections 2019.
ReplyDeleteI am a supporter of the current leading party in our county. However, I would very much like to see another party in the lead on the next coming elections.
ReplyDeleteI think the ANC has been leading for far too long, and as a result are too comfortable and not serving the nation the best way they could.
Former ANC President,Jacob Zuma left Cyril Ramaphosa with so much corrections to do.It will take good and determined leadership of him(Ramaphosa) to restore the dignity of the ANC party
ReplyDeleteSouth Africa will only depend on prayers... cyril is not that different from zuma.. bcz hes also the puppet of some white monopoly the Ruperts... and it will be difficult for him to make changes coz hes surrounded by Zumas supporters who will continue with corruption..
ReplyDeleteThe expectations for Cyril are very high. He has a lot of work to do and has promised a lot of change. A lot is expected of him and his team so in order to restore hope back into the people he has to do what's right. I do, however feel that the removal of Jacob Zuma and replacement by Cyril was ANC's publicity stunt to try and win back the people for next year's votes.
