The African National Congress (ANC) was founded in 1912 in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The ANC was instrumental in charting a course of multi-racialism in South Africa, drawing into its ranks a broad spectrum of South African society, working together to dismantle apartheid and set South Africa on course for a better future. In South Africa's first real democratic elections in 1994, the ANC was elected to government and Nelson Mandela became President.
