The loss of majority in parliament by the Africa n National Congress, ANC in the May 29, 2024 South Africa n elections was a sunset for the continent. It means that the unrepentant Pan Africa nist organisation with its vow to the mass of the people and unrepentant commitment to humanity as manifested in its unprecedented war against genocide in Palestine, might be compromised under a coalition.
The war against Apartheid which pitched humanity against racists and super powers like the United States and United Kingdom, brought out the beast in some and the best in liberation fighters like Chris Hani, Joe Slovo, Ruth First, Solomon Mahlangu and the Mandelas. On the inevitable coalition, the ANC's National Spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri informed that:"The ANC has taken the position that we must all act in the interest of our country and its people, and work on a national consensus on the form of government that is best suited to move South Africa forward at this moment in our history."
ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said the ANC would not compromise its principles just to hang on to power:"I think the ANC has many factors to consider in terms of how it forms a government - both the stability of the country at large but also for the sake of having a government that still holds to the values of the ANC that it has long said that it serves."
