Election special 3. Uncertain times for the ANC in South Africa
2024 is the year of elections. According to one estimate just under 50% of all the people on earth live in countries where by December 31st there will have been a national vote. To mark this phenomenon we are broadcasting three special programmes.
In the third and final programme in this special series we’re focusing on South Africa. It is 30 years since the African National Congress - led back then by Nelson Mandela - first won power. It has had a majority in parliament ever since. But this year it could well be different. If so, does this decline of the ruling party bode well or badly for South Africa?
Guests:
David Everatt, Professor at the Wits School of Governance in Johannesburg
Dr Ayesha Omar, British Academy International Fellow at SOAS
Alexander Beresford, Associate Professor in African Politics at Leeds University
Professor Cherrel Africa from the University of the Western Cape
Production team: Rosamund Jones and Ben Carter
Editor: Richard Vadon
Production Co-ordinator: Gemma Ashman
Sound engineers: Hal Haines and Neil Churchill
