“The economic power continues to rest in the hands of the white people.” — Listen to former African Union Ambassador to the US, Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, as she reflects on South Africa’s elections and how the leading ANC party has lost the country’s confidence.

As the ANC now faces the dilemma of choosing a coalition partner, Chihombori-Quao warns that joining forces with the Democratic Alliance party “would be their demise.”

The white-led Democratic Alliance (DA) is a proponent of neoliberalism and remains the second-largest party in parliament. Two other contenders for a coalition are the new MK party, led by ex-President Jacob Zuma, and the Marxist-Leninist EFF party, led by Julius Malema.
