South Africa's Jacob Zuma faces vote of no-confidence in secret ballot | News | DW | 07.08.2017

Tags: Current Focus, South Africa,
South Africa's president Jacob Zuma faces another no-confidence motion in parliament. This time the Speaker of parliament has ruled that the members will vote in a secret ballot, so that members of the ANC do not face reprisals for voting against the government. Corruption scandals in the government and Zuma's association with the Gupta family has led to a loss of confidence in the Zuma government. The economy has suffered since the resignation of the finance minister, and the country's credit rating was changed to junk status.

South Africa's Democratic Alliance- building an effective opposition to the African National Congress for a two party system
02/16/2014
Keller describes the need for an effective opposition and an alternative government in South Africa. Estimates show the Democratic Alliance winning 30% of the votes in an election. One difficulty is the Democratic Alliance's roots in white liberal politics and the need for an expanding reach into the black and other communities in South Africa for members.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
