RW Johnson on Russia’s ANC funding, its Middle East gambit and the Zuma impact

Political scientist, historian and former Oxford Don RW Johnson unpacks the likely impact of Jacob Zuma on the ANC’s 2024 Election prospects after the former president’s new party this week drew 20% of the vote in the first by-election it contested.

He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
