The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change.
The ANC's key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

The African National Congress wishes Bafana-Bafana who are the host team of the Afcon championships well in their quarter final game against Mali. In their last game against Morocco they demonstrated their ability to rise to the occasion. As the ANC we believe that the team has the necessary capacity in all performance departments. The support by the nation will be an added motivation to our national team. We say Halala Bafana-Bafana!!
