Despite the scandals, a large number of South Africans still expressed loyalty to the ANC, the party that guided the country into the post-apartheid era in 1994 with Nelson Mandela at its helm. But others expressed a lack of interest in supporting the ANC or the political process, and voter turnout plummeted from 73 percent in 2014 to 65 percent this year.

Ramaphosa has branded himself as the ANC’s cleanup act, seeking to repair the party’s image after its reputation suffered a major blow under Zuma’s leadership. Before his election, he was accused both of raping a family friend and being linked to a corrupt arms deal in the 1990s. He was acquitted in the rape case, and the corruption case was dropped before his 2009 election, but the arms deal continued to haunt him well into his presidency.
