Protests in South Africa after cabinet reshuffle

[parochial boy]

Zuma removes the finance minister, Pravin Gordhan sparking outrage.

I can't see this spelling the end of the ANC's reign though, South Africa needs an opposition that appeals to slightly more than just white people.

that requires the majority of black people in the country to consider voting for someone else, until they do or the ANC splits in two, Zuma and his lackeys will do whatever they want

This may be the end for Zuma. Cosatu, sacp and Cyril Ramaphosa have all demanded he stand down.

As of the 2016 local elections, a majority of the DA's electorate is now non-white, fwiw, though whites are still a plurality. The party also has many prominent black figures (including party leader Mmusi Maimane, and his predecessor Lindiwe Mazibuko).

The ANC will lose power when the struggle to end apartheid ceases to be relevant in people's minds, the way the INC lost power in India in 1977, a generation after the end of British rule, and Mapai lost power in Israel also in 1977, a generation after the war of independence. Similarly, the ANC can probably expect about 30 years of unchallenged rule before it is eventually brought down, not at the next election (2019) but probably sometime in the 2020s.
