South Africa's governing ANC vows to kick-start the country's economy and deal with corruption three days before general elections to choose a new National Assembly and provincial lawmakers
African National Congress president Cyril Ramaphosa addresses the final election rally of the ruling party at the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, May 5, 2019, ahead of South Africa's election on May 8.
Though the ANC has won each parliamentary election since the transition from apartheid in 1994, recent opinion polls predict that it will bleed support to opposition coalitions that have gained ground as the ANC has been dogged by political scandal and a flagging economy. "We are determined that those found guilty of corruption or involvement in state capture will not be allowed to occupy positions of responsibility, either in the ANC, in parliament or in government," Ramaphosa said at Sunday's rally.The torrent of allegations has hit ANC support, especially in urban areas.
Despite being the province with the smallest land area, Gauteng generates more than a third of South Africa's gross domestic product and is the most populous province with a population of 14.3 million.
