ANC support uncertain before South African election, Jacob Zuma barred from running | The World

For 30 years, South Africa's ruling 'African National Congress' has dominated the country's political scene, but that may be about to change. The ANC will face its toughest election next week, with many polls indicating the party may lose their parliamentary majority, amid growing dissatisfaction from voters. Meanwhile after weeks of legal disputes the country's highest court has barred controversial former president, Jacob Zuma, from running for parliament.
