"ANC Fights to Maintain Majority in South Africa's Elections"

South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) faces a tough battle in the upcoming elections as dissatisfaction with the economy, public services, and corruption threatens its majority. President Cyril Ramaphosa launched the party's manifesto, promising to create jobs, boost investment, and eradicate corruption. The main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) aims to address the country's crises with a liberal economic approach, while the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) seeks to transform the economy by expropriating land and nationalizing key sectors. With former President Jacob Zuma's new party also in the mix, South Africa is gearing up for a highly contested election with the possibility of a coalition government.
