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.

What i find interesting is that anything happening in any African nation that doesn't have any bearing or relations with the West or Europe is always suspect in the eyes of the world, and often called into question, especially that has to do with China and Russia. Hence, CuriousCatter call the ANC "Useful idiots" i don't think these people understand the relations between ANC and Russia goes back to apartheid period. You are so self centred that you don't understand that you need friends and alliances in the times of trouble. What is happening in SA is beyond the ANC and there is an element of sabotage. First understand the whole picture before you make unifomed conclusions.

@rosinaramahlo5539 24 дня назад

Honestly, my question might sound somehow stupid, but irrespective of that, it needs to be answered. How much does the donations have an impact on the country government elections? As i though the community needs the government basing on the efforts and good internations to benefit or uplift or upgrade the lives of all its citizens, of which the ANC party government had or has absolutely none of those, except corruption and evil actions towards the South African community. Secondly, why should the donators be determined to want to let the ANC party government to be in power again?,after they had seen how the ANC party government did to the community in South Africa. While the EFF party senior members has got those good interests, qualities, international abilities, etc, that could make the lifestyles of all the South Africans to look much more different and much better. Is it maybe that the donators have realised how the ANC party government, puppets they are, where it is going to be easy for them to control or take the South African country as theirs.

The war in Ukraine is thorugh NATO and US design, I do not have time to educate you on global geopolitics, 2, When the black man was a slave in his own country, the most evil people in the world like Thatcher were funding that tyranny, but Russia was human to liberaye us. 3. The US resisted expansion of Russia to South America through Cuba and agreements were signed including Eastern which its violation is the reason for Ukraine-Russian war.
