The ANC party that freed South Africa from apartheid loses its 30-year majority
JOHANNESBURG — The African National Congress party lost its parliamentary majority in a historic election result Saturday that puts South Africa on a new political path for the first time since the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule 30 years ago.
With more than 99% of votes counted, the once-dominant ANC had received just over 40% in Wednesday’s election, well short of the majority it had held since the famed all-race vote of 1994 that ended apartheid and brought it to power under Nelson Mandela. The final results are still to be formally declared by the independent electoral commission that ran the election, but the ANC cannot pass 50%.
At the start of the election, the commission said it would formally declare the results by Sunday, but that could come earlier.
While opposition parties have hailed the result as a momentous breakthrough for a country struggling with deep poverty and inequality, the ANC remained the biggest party by some way. However, it will now likely need to look for a coalition partner or partners to remain in the government and reelect President Cyril Ramaphosa for a second and final term. Parliament elects the South African president after national elections.
“The way to rescue South Africa is to break the ANC’s majority and we have done that,” said main opposition leader John Steenhuisen.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad releases video of Amazon worker Alexander Trupanov held hostage in Gaza
ERUSALEM, Israel – Another hostage video released from Gaza as Israel is still investigating a huge fire that killed dozens of Palestinians after an Israeli-targeted bombing in Rafah.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a video of a 28-year-old Israeli-Russian hostage.
In the video, he says, "My name is Alexander Trupanov. Israeli citizens who are protesting, in the coming days, you will know the whole truth of what happened to me in "Prisoners Square' in Gaza. I'm asking you to be patient."
Trupanov's mother, grandmother, and partner, who were all kidnapped on October 7th and released during the November exchange, released a statement.
His mother, Yelena Trupanov, said, "Seeing my Sasha on television today is very heartening, but it also breaks my heart that he has been in captivity for such a long time. I appeal to everyone, to all decision-makers, please do everything, absolutely everything, to bring my son and all the hostages home now!"
His girlfriend, Sapir Cohen, declared, "My dear Sasha, we are waiting for you to come back to us, and we are making every possible effort to ensure it happens soon."
According to press reports, Israel made a new proposal for a hostage deal to mediators Qatar and Egypt. The stumbling block has been Hamas' demand to remain in power in Gaza, and to institute a permanent ceasefire and a complete Israeli withdrawal.
That is a non-starter for Israel, which says Hamas must be destroyed.

Suspect in Laken Riley murder pleads not guilty at arraignment
ATHENS, Ga. — The man accused of murdering nursing student Laken Riley entered a plea of not guilty at his arraignment Friday.
Jose Ibarra, 26, was arrested Feb. 23 for the murder of 22-year-old Riley, who was killed while jogging on the University of Georgia campus.
An indictment charges Ibarra with 10 charges: malice murder, three counts of felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, obstruction or hindering a person making emergency telephone call, tampering with evidence and peeping tom.
Riley’s family members were in the courtroom Friday. As Ibarra was led in, her mother began to cry, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Ibarra is accused of attempting to rape Riley, “asphyxiating her” and “seriously disfiguring her head by striking her head multiple times with a rock.” A tampering with evidence charge is for allegations he disposed of his jacket and gloves to conceal the crime.
Ibarra is also accused of spying on a woman at an apartment at the UGA Village Housing complex the day Riley was killed.
The judge said he expects a status conference to take place in early August.
