South Africa's ANC Faces Uncertain Future After Election Loss

Following a significant decline in support in the recent elections, South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) is in talks with various political parties to form a coalition government. With no party securing an outright majority, the ANC is exploring alliances, including a potential coalition with the Democratic Alliance (DA) to ensure stability. The ANC's weakened position has led to discussions about forming a government of national unity, reminiscent of Nelson Mandela's era, but challenges remain due to differing political agendas and internal party scrutiny.
