ANC and Racial Relations: a Story of Political Hijacking for an Increasing Incompetent Party
On the touristy Vilakazi street of Soweto, right across the street from Nelson Mandela's old house, was a distinctively colored car. With large black, yellow, and green stripes visibly painted to the back and the side, the car's origin is only too obvious to anyone who knows anything about South African politics: it is a car belonging to the African National Congress (ANC), the formerly undergrad political organization started in opposition to apartheid government's unequal treatment of blacks and their political disenfranchisement and have led the national government ever since multiracial elections were introduced in 1994.
