Next year is going to mark twenty years since South Africa’s first post-Apartheid election. Since 1994 the African National Congress (ANC) has dominated South African politics. In 2009 the ANC won 65.9% of the national vote. The ANC is so large that the party experiences a lot of infighting. In 2008 former South African President Thabo Mbeki was forced to resign from office because the ANC national executive committee threatened to hold a leadership spill. Shortly after Mbeki’s resignation, Jacob Zuma became the President of South Africa.
