The African National Congress (ANC) is the Republic of South Africa's governing political party. It has been the ruling party of post-apartheid South Africa on the national level, beginning with the election of Nelson Mandela in the 1994 election. Today, the ANC remains the dominant political party in South Africa, winning every election since 1994. Cyril Ramaphosa, the incumbent President of South Africa, has served as leader of the ANC since 18 December 2017.[3]
Founded on 8 January 1912 by John Langalibalele Dube in Bloemfontein as the South African Native National Congress (SANNC), its primary mission was to give voting rights to black and mixed-race Africans and, from the 1940s, to end apartheid.[4] The ANC originally attempted to use nonviolent protests to end apartheid, however, the Sharpeville massacre resulted in the deaths of 69 black Africans and contributed to deteriorating relations with the South African government. On 8 April 1960, the administration of Charles Robberts Swart, banned the ANC and forced the party to leave South Africa.[5] After the ban, the ANC formed the Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) to fight against apartheid utilizing guerrilla warfare and sabotage. On 3 February 1990, State President F. W. de Klerk lifted the ban on the ANC and released Nelson Mandela on 11 February 1990.[6] On 17 March 1992, the apartheid referendum was passed by the voters removing apartheid and allowing the ANC to run in the 1994 election. Since the 1994 election the ANC has performed better than 60% in all general elections, including the most recent 2014 election.

It had not had enough time for economic recovery. After Japan´s surrender in 1945, the war between Nationalists and Communists resumed after having joined forces to face the Japanese occupiers. In the late 1940s, the government of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek was plagued by widespread corruption; there was high inflation and the public administration was seen as ineffective in solving urgent problems. The Nationalists had the support of the USA that provided weapons and money. Besides, the Communists, led by Mao Zedong, had won much prestige for the fight of their guerrillas against the Japanese; they got weapons and supplies from the Soviet Union. Mao employed successful tactics against the superior Kuomintang armies and defeated them, destroying the Nationalist morale. Chiang and the remnants of his army and administration escaped to Taiwan, off the coast of southern China in 1949.
