The ANC at 100 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".

In this article we assess how much of what he promised has been delivered. We also assess the prospects of his Republican challengers as the Primary season kicks off.
