Watch Part 2 of our interview about the election in South Africa, where the African National Congress has lost its majority after last week’s election. The ANC, which has been in power since the end of apartheid, won just 40% of the vote, marking the first time the party that was once led by Nelson Mandela will not hold outright power in 30 years. We speak with Trevor Ngwane, a Soweto-based activist and chair of the United Front, and Louis Freedberg, veteran South African journalist, about what the ANC had to overcome by 1994, where the party took South Africa, key players then and now, conditions in the country now, and the response to taking up a genocide case against Israel before the International Criminal Court.
