The ANC enjoyed a lengthy honeymoon after it came to power in 1994. Indeed, its share of the vote increased in its early terms, nudging 70 per cent in 2004. On May 29 this year, South Africa will vote in what are widely heralded as the country’s most important elections for 30 years.

De Klerk, the last apartheid-era president, shocked the world and his country by announcing that the ANC and other anti-apartheid parties would be unbanned. South Africans celebrated their “Freedom Day” on Saturday, commemorating their country’s pivotal first democratic election on April 27, 1994, that announced the official end of the racial segregation and oppression of apartheid. Millions of people around the world will pause on Monday, at least for a moment, to mark Earth Day. It’s an annual event founded by people who hoped to stir activism to clean up and preserve a planet that is now home to some 8 billion humans and assorted trillions of other organisms.

I am thinking of Judy and Jim today and of the holiday celebrations we shared. We feel their loss and celebrate the lingering memories of our friendship. California borrowed billions of dollars from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic. The strike bill is supported by the California Labor Federation and other labor unions. The California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, including grocery, farm and hospital associations, opposed the bill Wednesday in its first hearings in the state Senate. The Hollywood writers strike affects a culinary ecosystem dependent on catering, private events and business lunches.

Oftentimes, explained lead prosecutor Casey Nelson, white-collar criminals facing charges will quickly liquidate everything they own to avoid paying back victims and the hefty penalties. The California law he utilized to put Pirozzi’s money and properties on ice is an “invaluable tool to recover funds,” he said, a tool the District Attorney’s Office uses often. But many groups use the day to put together volunteer events with the environment in mind, such as cleanups of natural areas.

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Nelson L Colvin (Los Angeles, California), who passed away on August 25, 2022 at the age of 83.

She called for a full accounting of how much California would have paid in unemployment benefits to striking workers in 2023. A country that had been shunned and sanctioned by the international community for decades because of apartheid emerged as a fully-fledged democracy.

Meanwhile, crime figures are sky high, with 84 murders per day, while basic state provision of health, water, education and transport is often crumbling. The streets are clean and tidy, but there are many people hanging around without jobs. The ANC’s vote share fell to 66 per cent in 2009, 62 per cent in 2014 and 58 per cent in 2019. Fed up with unemployment, corruption, entrenched poverty and years of broken promises, they would either vote for the opposition, or had given up on politics completely, they said. On a visit last week, few of the black residents The Telegraph spoke to would admit intending to put their cross next to Mandela’s party. Yet now, as the ANC again faces elections, the disillusionment felt towards the party in Soweto is palpable.

Thousands of kids in South Africa’s poorest, most remote rural areas still face a miles-long walk to school nearly 30 years after democratic change. The ANC’s election victory ensured that apartheid was finally dismantled and a new Constitution was drawn up and became South Africa’s highest law, guaranteeing equality for everyone no matter their race, religion or sexuality. Mandela, the face of the anti-apartheid movement, was released from prison nine days later, setting him on the road to becoming South Africa’s first Black leader.

In many places, you see an inclusive joy these days that would not have been possible under apartheid. On any given night, you’ll find Black partygoers in swanky nightclubs or high-end restaurants, sucking on hookah pipes or posing for Instagram snapshots. Some townships, which the apartheid government had designed to keep the Black population ostracized, have vibrant arts and culture scenes. Festivals are frequently held in all parts of the country and draw multiracial crowds.

Months after Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed the proposal, lawmakers in Sacramento are trying again to extend unemployment benefits to California workers who are on strike. With a major national election next month, my colleague Lynsey Chutel and I have been reporting to understand how South Africa got here. We’ve sifted through data, interviewed experts and chatted with dozens of residents from every walk of life. (Read our story here.) Today’s newsletter will explain what happened.

Meanwhile, when asked who he would vote for, Thembikosi Ziqubu, who ekes out a living selling mobile phone accessories, glances up to an election poster for the disgraced former president Jacob Zuma. “We have now lost hope so I am going to vote for one of the opposition parties,” she said. The family is being assisted by the Skradski Funeral Home in Gladstone. The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks strikes of more than 1,000 people, and reported at least 56 such stoppages in California between 2012 and 2022, analysts said. There were two strikes during that time period that lasted two weeks. The budget deficit and a relatively high rate of unemployment have become major barriers to reducing the debt, which stood Monday at about $20.5 billion.
