ANC and the failure of the Black Renaissance, By Ahmed Aminu-Ramatu Yusuf

The article criticizes the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling party, for failing to address issues of Afrophobia and xenophobia in the country. It argues that the ANC has not fulfilled key provisions of its 'Freedom Charter,' such as decolonizing the economy and protecting the rights of Black Africans and immigrants. The author points to historical instances of violence against African immigrants during various ANC presidencies, including under Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, and Jacob Zuma. These incidents include attacks on immigrants in townships, train assaults, murders, and forced displacement. The article calls for international attention to hold the ANC accountable for these ongoing problems.
