South Africa commemorated the 30th anniversary of the end of apartheid and the birth of its democracy with a ceremony in Pretoria. The event included a 21-gun salute and the display of the nation's multicolored flag. However, amidst the milestone celebration, there was a growing discontent with the current government.
President Cyril Ramaphosa presided over the ceremony, reflecting on the significant role played by the African National Congress (ANC) in liberating the Black majority from the oppressive apartheid regime. The ANC has been in power since the historic all-race election in 1994 that officially ended apartheid.
