The African National Congress (ANC) – Africa’s oldest liberation movement – is celebrating 113 years of existence this weekend. This year’s January 8 Statement rally will be held at Nelson Mandela Park at Khayelitsha in Cape Town on Saturday. The ANC has been the governing party since the first democratic elections in 1994, marking the country’s political liberation from apartheid. However, in last year’s general elections, it failed to win an outright majority in parliament – giving rise to the formation of a government of national unity. Lerato Mbele is joined by deputy secretary-general of the ANC, Maropene Ramokgopa.
