South Africa: Russia-Linked Funding to Keep Ramaphosa and ANC in Power? | Firstpost Africa
In the run-up to South Africa's general election, the African National Congress has been facing multiple crises. First, it was the costly divorce with Jacob Zuma last year. The ANC then saw its support among voters dropping. Analysts say, the African National Congress' share of the vote will fall below 50%, which could force it to form a coalition government. This would be a first in the party's history since the end of Apartheid. The May 29 election has been touted as the toughest since Nelson Mandela won power in 1994. Closer to the election, the party was also facing a cash crunch. But in the final days of campaigning, it seemed to have escaped its financial woes and managed to go all out. Did a Russia link help Ramaphosa strengthen ANC's campaign? Watch this video for details.
