Former South African President Jacob Zuma, who resigned in disgrace in 2018, has won a court bid to overturn his disqualification from running for parliament in next month's election. This marks a significant attempt by Zuma to challenge the African National Congress' (ANC) long-standing dominance in South African politics. Critics, including @justicemalala, argue that Zuma's potential return to a position of influence represents a major step backwards for the country. Meanwhile, Julius Malema, the leader of the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters, is positioning himself as offering a clear, consistent, and transparent alternative to the current political leadership. This political turbulence comes as South Africa faces a potential major political shakeup, with investors growing increasingly anxious.
