The electoral campaign has begun in South Africa, with general elections scheduled for May 29, 2024. The party that comes first in the legislative vote will see its leader become president of the country.

For the first time since 1994, the ANC could lose its absolute majority. The electoral battle promises to be tough, particularly in the KwaZulu-Natal region, in the east of South Africa. Inkhata Freedom Party (IFP), which had a full stadium, hopes to take the region back from the ANC.
