"ANC's 30-Year Rule Ends as New Party Shakes Up South Africa Election"
TL;DR Summary
The African National Congress (ANC) has lost its majority in South Africa's parliamentary elections for the first time since the end of apartheid, receiving just over 40% of the vote. This historic result signals a shift towards coalition government, with the ANC needing to partner with other parties to maintain power. The ANC's decline is attributed to widespread dissatisfaction with poverty, inequality, and service shortages. The outcome has led to complex negotiations among various political parties, with no clear coalition yet formed.
