JOHANNESBURG - Thousands of supporters of South Africa’s African National Congress took to the streets of downtown Johannesburg on Sunday to celebrate their party’s victory in last week’s election despite a lower share of the vote.
The result was the ANC’s worst performance in a parliamentary vote since the end of white minority rule in 1994, when the party swept to power under Nelson Mandela. But it was at least at an improvement on its vote share in local government elections in 2016. Another ANC member, Themba Shabalala, 39, said he wanted to see Ramaphosa, a union leader turned business tycoon, rid the country of the “scourge of unemployment.” Around 27 percent of South Africans don’t have jobs, according to one definition of unemployment.
Ramaphosa’s first full term as president should start later this month after his nomination by ANC lawmakers in the new parliament.
