ANC: Latest News, Policy and Party Watch

Want clear, up-to-date coverage of the African National Congress (ANC)? This tag page pulls together news, analysis and local angles about South Africa’s ruling party. You’ll find pieces on leadership fights, policy shifts, corruption probes, service delivery problems, and how ANC decisions affect everyday life.

We focus on facts and outcomes. Expect short reports on events, explainers that break down policy, and on-the-ground pieces that show what changes mean for towns and cities. When a minister faces questions, when a faction changes strategy before an election, or when a national policy hits municipal budgets — you’ll see it here with links to full stories.

Top themes covered

We track the stories that matter most: internal ANC politics and leadership contests; national policy on crime, health and the economy; court cases and corruption investigations; and service delivery issues like policing and municipal spending. For example, when South Africa redirects billions from public policing to private security, that’s a public policy story with political fallout — expect reporting that connects the budget numbers to political accountability.

We also cover reactions from opposition parties, civil society and voters. Those responses often shape headlines and influence how the ANC reacts. You’ll get context: who is pushing for change inside the party, which policies are on the chopping block, and how these shifts affect the 2024–25 political calendar.
