This weekend marks the final stretch of campaigning in South Africa before the upcoming elections on Wednesday, which President Cyril Ramaphosa has deemed as one of the most crucial in the nation's history. At a recent rally, Ramaphosa pledged to prioritize job creation and address the pressing issue of high living costs. However, recent polls indicate that the ruling African National Congress may face the risk of losing its majority for the first time since the historic victory led by Nelson Mandela in 1994.
Thousands of supporters gathered at the economic freedom fighters' final rally, underscoring the significant presence of opposition parties in South Africa. The party's leader has vowed to bring about change, reflecting the diverse political landscape in the country.
