The Celebration of African National Congress Foundation Day is observed on January 8 every year. The unification of Africans and the defence of their liberties and rights were its main objectives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formation_of_African_National_Congress\"><\/span><strong>Formation of African National Congress<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<b>African National Congress<\/b>\u00a0(<b>ANC<\/b>) is a social-democratic political party in South Africa. It has been in power since April 1994 and has been reelected every year since 2004. Cyril Ramaphosa, the current President of South Africa, has been the president of the ANC since 18 December 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The African National Congress was founded on January 8, 1912 by John Langelibalale Dube with the motive of eliminating apartheid and giving full voting rights to black South Africans and mixed-race South Africans. The aim was to bring all Africans together as one people to defend their rights and freedom. The chiefs, representatives of people and church organizations and other prominent individuals gathered in Bloemfontein and formed the African National Congress. It was formerly known as the South African Native National Congress (SANNC) \u00a0and was renamed the ANC in 1923. Initially, the ANC resorted to the use of delegations, petitions and non-violent protests to end apartheid; however, after the Sharpeville massacre in March 1960, where 69 black South Africans were shot and killed by police and hundreds wounded during a peaceful protest; they had to change their approach. In 1940, Alfred B. Xuma became ANC president and began to recruit more outspoken and younger members like Nelson Mandela,\u00a0Oliver Tambo, and\u00a0Walter Sisulu.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial days, the ANC had it&#8217;s share of problems due to power struggles and lack of resources but the increasing repression by the government forced the ANC to join hands with the SACP and as a result formed\u00a0 military wing, uMkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation\/ MK) in 1961.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growth_of_African_National_Congress\"><\/span><strong>Growth of African National Congress<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even though it was formed in 1912, ANC&#8217;s membership increased rapidly in the 1950s when the blacks of South Africa could no longer tolerate the policy of rigid racial segregation implemented by the white minority government in 1948. In 1955, the ANC issued its famous Freedom Charter, which stated, \u201cSouth Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white&#8221;<em>. <\/em>Since then the ANC had been in continuous revolt against the government. In 1960, there was a ban on ANC after the Sharpeville massacre. In 1961, the ANC officially adopted violence with the formation of a Umkhonto we Sizwe. As a result Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu were sentenced to life imprisonment for their ANC activities and Oliver Tambo left South Africa to establish an external wing of the ANC. With much of its leadership either jailed or exiled, the ANC went underground and began guerilla activities from bases abroad. In 1990, the government lifted its ban on the ANC and other Black African organizations. Apart from this, the blacks of South Africa had another reason to rejoice &#8211; Mandela was released in the same year after more than 27 years in prison. The ANC no longer had to operate underground and started their preparations for the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_ANC_Sights_Victory\"><\/span><strong>The ANC Sights Victory<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 1994 the party swept the country\u2019s first elections and Nelson Mandela became South Africa&#8217;s first black President. This saw the collapse of apartheid and the ushering in of new democratic rule in 1994. Mandela formed a government of national unity. He was earlier chosen as the president of ANC in 1991 and played a prominent role in leading the party to victory. Mandela retired in 1999 after just one term. Thabo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoplease.com\/encyclopedia\/people\/history\/southern-africa\/mbeki-thabo-mvuyelwa\">Mbeki<\/a> succeeded Mandela as head of the ANC in 1997 and as president of South Africa in 1999. As a result of failure of South Africa&#8217;s economic growth, there were tensions within the ANC which led to\u00a0 Mbeki&#8217;s loss of the party leadership to Jacob <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoplease.com\/encyclopedia\/people\/history\/african\/zuma-jacob-gedleyihlekisa\">Zuma<\/a> in 2007 and his resignation as South Africa&#8217;s president in 2008. ANC deputy leader Kgalema\u00a0Motlanthe was elected South Africa&#8217;s interim president. Zuma succeeded Motlanthe as South Africa&#8217;s president in 2009. His tenure caused increasing divisions in the ANC, as his administration faced charges of corruption and growing economic difficulties. In 2017 Cyril <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoplease.com\/encyclopedia\/people\/history\/african\/ramaphosa-cyril\">Ramaphosa<\/a>, who had been Mandela&#8217;s choice as his successor, was elected to succeed Zuma as ANC president.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"African_National_Congresss_Fight_Against_Apartheid\"><\/span><strong>African National Congress&#8217;s Fight Against Apartheid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ANC has succeeded in shaping a multi cultural government in South Africa, and under Nelson Mandela brokered the end of apartheid thus bringing peace to a racially divided country. Despite his recognition as the major force in abolishing apartheid, Mandela always maintained that he was not responsible for this accomplishment. On his release from prison in 1990, he said, &#8220;I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.&#8221; He reckoned that the achievement was due to the relentless effort of the African National Congress (ANC).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"African_National_Congrss_Foundation_Day_Quiz_2023\"><\/span><strong>African National Congrss Foundation Day Quiz 2023<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1.
