South Africa's Political Landscape: A Tumultuous Journey Ahead

South Africa stands on the brink of significant political change as the upcoming general elections loom large. President Cyril Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC) faces the risk of losing its parliamentary majority, with unemployment at 32 percent, crime rates soaring, and infrastructure crumbling. The gap between the rich and poor widens, corruption scandals plague the ruling party, and former president Jacob Zuma's breakaway party threatens to shake up the electoral landscape. As the country marks 30 years of freedom, tensions run high, and the outcome of the elections remains uncertain.
