Quick Glance: Young South Africans Reconsidering Nelson Mandela's Heritage

Kenneth Khoza is canvassing near Vilakazi Street for the uMkhonto we Sizwe party, named after the former armed wing of the African National Congress.

Some young South Africans are questioning Mandela's legacy due to the deep disillusionment in the country marked by unemployment, crime, and racial inequality.

There is a growing critique of the ruling ANC party, as some believe Mandela and the leadership of the liberation era should have taken more radical measures to correct the injustices of the apartheid era.

While the ANC is expected to emerge as the largest party in the elections, polls suggest increasing dissatisfaction with its performance, potentially ushering in a new era of coalition politics.

Quick Glance: Ramaphosa Urges ANC to Secure 14 Million Votes for Clear Victory

The ANC has mobilized all its ministers to 'aggressively communicate its success stories' in the critical campaigning weeks ahead of the May 29th national elections.

President Cyril Ramaphosa stated in a leaked recording of the national executive committee meeting last week that the party would need 14 million votes for a clear victory, compared to the previous 10 million.

ANC head of elections Mdumiseni Ntuli delivered a report on the party's campaign battle plan to remain in government, emphasizing the need to strengthen the base and win back disgruntled voters.

Ramaphosa expressed concern during the meeting that some NEC members had not met their commitments towards campaigning for an outright majority and emphasized consequences for those who fail to meet campaign work targets.

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Delayed ANC Bid to Block Use of MK Trademark by Zuma's MK Party

The KwaZulu-Natal High Court has dismissed the ANC’s bid to prohibit Jacob Zuma’s MK party from using the names and symbols of its disbanded anti-apartheid military wing.

The judgment handed down allows the recently-established MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, to use the 'uMkhonto we Sizwe' name and symbols.

The judgment highlighted that the ANC only considered the consequences of the name and symbols' use after Zuma publicly declared his support for the MK party.

The court deemed the ANC's delayed application as 'self-created' due to the responsibility falling on party secretary general Fikile Mbalula to ensure timely action.
