South Africa marked a significant milestone as it celebrated 30 years since the end of apartheid and the birth of its democracy. The ceremony in the capital included a 21-gun salute and the waving of the nation’s multicolored flag, but the atmosphere was tinged with growing discontent with the current government.
President Cyril Ramaphosa presided over the gathering, reflecting on the historic moment when the African National Congress (ANC) liberated South Africa’s Black majority from the oppressive apartheid regime. The ANC has been in power since the first democratic election in 1994, but its popularity is waning, with polls suggesting it may lose its parliamentary majority in the upcoming election.
Ramaphosa acknowledged the challenges that South Africa still faces, including widespread poverty and inequality. Despite the constitutional guarantees of equal rights for all citizens, the Black majority continues to suffer from severe poverty, with high unemployment rates and reliance on welfare grants for survival.
As the country prepares for the upcoming election, a new generation of South Africans, known as “Born Frees,” are eager for change. Young supporters of the Rise Mzansi party wore T-shirts with the slogan “2024 is our 1994,” signaling their desire for a new political landscape.
The sentiment among many South Africans is that while 1994 was a landmark moment, the current issues of joblessness, crime, corruption, and failing basic services overshadow the progress made since the end of apartheid. With the election approaching, there is a sense of hope for a new beginning and a chance to address the challenges that have persisted for the past 30 years.
