Pro-Palestinian encampment at Dalhousie University - May 13, 2024 | SaltWire #news #halifax #protestJOHANNESBURG - South Africa's most competitive election since the advent of democracy could provide opportunities for new political party Rise Mzansi to make innovative deals and improve parliamentary oversight, its leader said on Tuesday.

Zibi, a former editor of Business Day newspaper who also worked for Volkswagen, mining firm Xstrata and Absa bank before going into politics, said low turnouts in previous elections reflected widespread disillusionment with politics.
