In this episode join our hosts as they examine the end of apartheid in South Africa, focusing on the ANC's historic rise to power and its recent electoral decline in 2024. Once a symbol of liberation, the party now faces growing public discontent over issues like corruption, inequality, and unemployment, signaling a significant shift in the country's political landscape.
