At the ANC’s 50th National Conference in Mafikeng, Mandela handed party leadership to Thabo Mbeki. The transition modeled succession inside the liberation movement and honored Mandela’s stated intention to leave office after one term. It also marked a shift from Mandela’s personal authority to a new generation facing the unresolved tasks of economic redistribution and institutional transformation.
