Abstract:South Africa has been undergoing for 25 years in a relatively stable and inclusive development. However under President Zuma’s second term,a governance constraint occurred,including power abuse,wide spread corruption of “state capture”,distortion of financial order,a technical recession of its economy,and a growing discontent of the public,all these led to the sharp decline of popular support to the ANC,posing an alarm to its ruling party status. The ANC’s National Congress in December 2017 became a critical juncture of power transfer to save the ruling party from its governance dilemma. With the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as the ANC’s new president and thereafter the National Assembly elected him as the State President,a hope of renewal was widely felt. The Ramaphosa administration has put forward clear policies and measures in uniting the ANC and forming a strong and accountable cabinet,in dealing with anti-corruption as well as the sensible land reform in an open and transparent way,and pushing forward strong investment -friendly efforts,so as to make South Africa’s economy to recover in a healthy way. Although uncertainties and challenges were still there,the ANC led by Ramaphosa as the majority expected,won the 2019 National Election in May 2019 with 57.5% of the votes. The next 5 years will be a crucial period in South Africa’s development. High expectation in South Africa and from abroad hope to see the country’s rejuvenation.
