The ANC recently celebrated its 100 birthday. President Zuma has been at the forefront of the R100m (£7.9m) festivities, set up to extol the party's victory over apartheid and almost twenty years in power.

But, not everyone is happy. There are deep divisions within the party, exemplified by the expulsion of Youth Leader Julius Malema. Others, most notably Nobel Award winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, have strongly criticised the ANC leadership. In a furious denunciation he proclaimed that he "prays for the downfall of the ANC" saying that Zuma's leadership is "as bad as the apartheid Government".

Millions of South Africans continue to live in poverty and there is growing anger at the distance between the lives of the ANC-connected elite and the poor. As one commentator put it, why did they not spend the R100m on 100 schools or 100 health clinics?
