South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) turns 113 years old today, since its founding in 1912 in Bloemfontein in the country's Free State province.

The ANC is the oldest liberation movement on the continent and has been governing South Africa since 1994, playing a pivotal role in shaping the country's history.

However, the party recently faced a substantial setback in the 2024 general elections, losing its majority and prompting the formation of a government of national unity.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to an ANC MP Cameron Dugmore to reflect on the party's rich history, its current challenges, and its prospects.
