Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress Has Violated Everything He Stood For

04 Apr 2024  |  newlinesmag.com
The African National Congress (ANC), once led by Nelson Mandela, is criticized for betraying his legacy by failing to improve the lives of South Africa's Black majority and engaging in corruption. Despite Mandela's aspirations for democracy and equality, the ANC has been marred by scandals and has not dismantled apartheid's economic grip. The party's popularity is waning, as evidenced by recent election results, and South Africans are increasingly disillusioned with the government's inability to provide basic services. The ANC's current leadership is accused of industrial-scale looting and failing to address inequality, with the World Bank labeling South Africa as the most unequal country in the world.

Zambians Question US Vice President's Africa Trip

25 Mar 2023  |  voaafrica.com
Zambians are questioning the motives behind US Vice President Kamala Harris's upcoming trip to Africa, amidst concerns it may be a response to China's growing influence in Zambia. China has invested in infrastructure, despite Zambia's significant debt to Chinese creditors. Local figures, including Socialist Party President Fred Mmembe and author Walter Mwambazi, suggest the US is more interested in geopolitical and economic interests than promoting democracy and human rights. However, Kennedy Kalunga from Zambia's Ministry of Information highlights the government's non-aligned stance. US Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre stated the visit aims to promote democracy, economic growth, and food security. Civil Society Constitution Agenda Chairperson Judith Mulenga hopes Harris will address democracy and anti-corruption efforts. Harris's Africa tour will include Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia.
