. South Africa's ruling ANC projected to lose majority in watershed elections South Africa’s governing African National Congress has suffered its biggest electoral setback since taking power at the end of apartheid 22 years ago, losing to the main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) in the capital Pretoria on Saturday. With counting almost over, the DA, who evolved out of the anti-apartheid movement and had a white party leader until last year, garnered 43 percent of the vote compared to the ANC's 41 percent in Tshwane, the municipality that includes Pretoria. Although the ANC was still leading in the overall count on Saturday having received 53 percent of municipal votes nationwide, it’s the party’s lowest percentage ever, with the DA managing to take 26 percent. http://www.france24.com/en/20160806-south-africas-anc-projected-lose-majority-rule . . |

That country has gone downhill for more than 2 decades with no end in sight. |
