William Gumede argues in The Guardian that SA needs a credible, non-racial alternative to the ANC. This is especially so following the instant divorce between Agang SA and the Democratic Alliance.
Although South Africa has been slipping down various international rankings, anyone drawing up a balance sheet of rule by the African National Congress (ANC) since it came to power in 1994 must be struck as much by the successes as by the failures, writes John Kane-Berman of the SA Institute of Race Relations.
The ANC's grip on power is slipping and that can be a dangerous thing for the country, particularly in an election year. The radicalisation of South African politics is well underway, and trade unions are amping up their demands for higher wages, knowing their timing is perfect.
