Dear John,
On May 29, South Africans will decide the makeup of the National Assembly in the sixth democratic election since the end of apartheid in 1994.
While the country has experienced considerable change since that pivotal moment, it has also suffered from widespread corruption and the failure of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) to hold wrongdoers accountable, impacting citizens’ trust in governing institutions.
This election could mark the end of the ANC’s legislative majority and empower a different coalition to address the country’s domestic troubles.
