"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

That means that there will definitely be a new secretary-general running the affairs of the ANC. While the focus remains on the top job, the secretary-general position is key to the party’s internal functioning and its main interface with society. Like with the presidency, this is set to be a highly coveted position. </p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; background-\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"layout two-col fixed-width\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: calc(28000% - 173000px); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; min-width: 320px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;\">\r\n<div class=\"layout__inner\" style=\"line-height: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; display: table; width: 600px; background-color: #ffffff;\" emb-background->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; float: left; max-width: 320px; width: calc(12300px - 2000%); text-align: left; line-height: 21px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" style=\"font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px; \" lang=\"x-size-26\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\" line-height: inherit; \" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-kjmldy-l-x/\">North Korean missile tests a 'success'</a></p>\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" style=\"font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" lang=\"x-size-18\">\r\n<p>Dear Leader has declared the weekend's testing of two ballistic missiles a \"success\".

"description": "The African National Congress (ANC) is a social-democratic political party in South Africa. It has been the governing party of South Africa since the 1994 general election. It was the first election in which all races were allowed to vote.\r\n\r\nThe ANC is the oldest political party in South Africa, founded in 1912. It is also the largest political party in South Africa, with over 3 million members.\r\n\r\nThe African National Congress is a liberation movement that fought against apartheid, a system of racial segregation that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. The ANC was banned by the South African government for many years, but it continued to operate underground.\r\n\r\nIn 1990, the ban on the ANC was lifted and Nelson Mandela was released from prison. The ANC then negotiated a peaceful transition to democracy in South Africa.\r\n\r\nSince 1994, the ANC has governed South Africa under a system of majority rule.\r\n\r\nThe African National Congress has been criticised for corruption and for failing to address some of the challenges facing South Africa, such as poverty and unemployment.\r\n\r\nThe African National Congress is a complex and diverse organisation. It is a coalition of different political factions, including communists, socialists, and trade unionists.\r\n\r\nThe ANC has always claimed to be a broad church that includes people from all walks of life. It is a powerful force in South African politics and it will continue to play a major role in the country's future.\r\n\r\nThe party's support has declined over the years and it currently faces a threat of losing control of government in the 2024 national elections.",

"description": "<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gwede Mantashe is a South African politician and the current Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy within the African National Congress (ANC). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The portfolio was called the Ministry of Minerals and Energy until May 2009, when President Jacob Zuma split it into two separate portfolios under the Ministry of Mining (later the Ministry of Mineral Resources) and the Ministry of Energy. Ten years later, in May 2019, his successor President Cyril Ramaphosa reunited the portfolios as the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mantashe</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was born in 1955 in the Eastern Cape province, and began his working life at Western Deep Levels mine in 1975 as a Recreation Officer and, in the same year, moved to Prieska Copper Mines where he was Welfare Officer until 1982.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He then joined Matla Colliery and co-founded the Witbank branch of the National Union of Mine Workers (NUM), becoming its Chairperson. He held the position of NUM Regional Secretary in 1985. Mantashe showcased his skills and leadership within the NUM, serving as the National Organiser from 1988 to 1993 and as the Regional Coordinator from 1993 to 1994.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From 1994 to 1998, Mantashe held the role of Assistant General Secretary of the NUM and was later elected General Secretary in 1998.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During his initial tenure in government, Mantashe served as a Councillor in the Ekurhuleni Municipality from 1995 to 1999. Notably, he made history by becoming the first trade unionist appointed to the Board of Directors of a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company, Samancor.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In May 2006, Mantashe stepped down as the General Secretary of the NUM and took on the role of Executive Director at the Development Bank of Southern Africa for a two-year period. He also chaired the Technical Working Group of the Joint Initiative for Priority Skills Acquisition.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2007, Mantashe became the Chairperson of the South African Communist Party and a member of its Central Committee. He was elected Secretary-General of the African National Congress (ANC) at the party's 52nd National Conference in December 2007. Mantashe was re-elected to the same position in 2012. Additionally, at the ANC's 54th National Conference in 2017, he was elected as the National Chairperson.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mantashe is a complex and controversial figure. He has been accused of being too close to the ANC's corrupt leadership, and of being a hardliner who is opposed to reform. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His actions and statements have sparked controversy and allegations of protecting corruption, undermining democratic principles, and prioritising party loyalty over the interests of the country.</span>",
