This week's question is about a birthday, that of South Africa's African National Congress, the ANC, founded 100 years ago. The ANC is South Africa's governing party and has been since the first post-apartheid elections in 1994. But the ANC was not always called the ANC … the name was changed in 1923.
My question to you is, what was the original name of the ANC, founded on 8 January, 1912, in Bloemfontein, South Africa?
Send me your answer by 13 February; the answer and the winners will be announced on the 18 February programme. Be sure you send your postal address in with your answer … and be sure and tell me if you are a Mr. or a Mrs. or a Ms. or a Miss – I don't want to get it wrong!
