Africa in Fact’s Post

How does a nation celebrated for its democratic ideals come to embody moral and institutional decay? Under Jacob Zuma, South Africa witnessed the erosion of its constitutional integrity, as his presidency morphed into a network of patronage and self-interest. Zuma’s populist rhetoric masked systemic failures, exploiting racial divisions and scapegoating “white monopoly capital” to deflect criticism. His administration deployed the machinery of state to silence dissent and secure loyalty, culminating in a political landscape riddled with corruption, inefficiency, and mistrust. The toll? A fractured ANC, a polarised society, and a once-hopeful democracy grappling with the shadows of authoritarian tendencies. https://lnkd.in/dGyMKraj
