100 years ANC (African National Congress)

Historical accomplishments. Modern challenges. 100 Years of the ANC (African National Congress)
Discussion session – Looking to the past and the future: People in South Africa learnt long ago to join hands and move forwards together in order to make their voices heard against injustice and to make progress with their efforts to achieve freedom. They founded the African National Congress (ANC) on 8 January 1912, which was known as the African Native National Congress until 1923. This network brought together people who campaigned for a fair and equal coexistence for all.
The ANC spent 80 years of its hundred-year history as a movement of protest and resistance but has been a governing party for almost 20 years, which makes it impossible to form a single definitive image of the ANC. What were the most important milestones and turning points of the last ten decades? Where is the ANC now and where is it heading?
