South Africa commemorated the 30th anniversary of the end of apartheid and the dawn of its democracy with a ceremony in the capital on Saturday. The event, which featured a 21-gun salute and the display of the nation's multicolored flag, was led by President Cyril Ramaphosa at a large gathering in the gardens of the government buildings in Pretoria. Ramaphosa also addressed the ceremony as leader of the African National Congress (ANC), the party that played a key role in liberating South Africa's Black majority from nearly 50 years of oppressive apartheid rule. Since the first democratic election on April 27, 1994, when the ANC gained power and Nelson Mandela became the country's first Black president, the party has held leadership. However, this Freedom Day anniversary arrives amid concerns over the ANC's declining popularity.
