South Africa finds itself in uncharted waters as its people contemplate a future without a dominant African National Congress (ANC). Although locating itself to the left of the ANC, the party lacks a coherent policy platform.

Despite damage from ANC state capture, the executive and legislative arms of the state still function, albeit far from optimally, in executing their respective mandates. Despite this, pressure and desperation from many South Americans mounted on all arms of the state for a solution.
