South Africa sets election date on May 29th

South Africa will hold national and provincial elections on May 29, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s office said on Tuesday.

The elections are expected to be the most competitive since the end of the apartheid system.

South Africans will elect a new National Assembly as well as the provincial legislature in each of the country’s nine provinces before the National Assembly elects the president.

Ramaphosa, 71, is seeking a second term as president. He has struggled to lift economic growth significantly since taking over from Jacob Zuma as president in 2018.
