"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.",

As dissent against the president starts to build in the ANC and potentially explosive court rulings hang over his head, there has been some informal talk about how to contain the disaster-prone Zuma presidency. As the “recall” option used against former president Thabo Mbeki is not viable, Holomisa is proposing a way out that the ANC and the opposition could buy into, in the interests of the country.

"description": "<p data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:189\">Jacob <span class=\"citation-0 citation-end-0\">Zuma is a South African politician who served as the fourth president of South Africa from 2009 to 2018. He is also referred to by his initials JZ and clan name Msholozi.</span></p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:202\">Zuma was born in Nkandla, South Africa, in 1942. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1959 and became an anti-apartheid activist. He was imprisoned for 10 years for his political activities.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:186\">After his release from prison, Zuma served in various government positions, including as deputy president of South Africa from 1999 to 2005. In 2007, he was elected president of the ANC.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:346\">Zuma was elected president of South Africa in 2009. His presidency was marked by controversy, including allegations of corruption and mismanagement. He was also criticized for his close ties to the Gupta family, a wealthy Indian business family accused of using their influence to enrich themselves at the expense of the South African government.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:177\">In 2018, Zuma resigned as president after facing mounting pressure from the ANC and the public. He was subsequently convicted of corruption and sentenced to 15 months in prison.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:340\">Jacob Zuma is a controversial figure, but he is also a significant figure in South African history. He was the first president of South Africa to be born after apartheid, and he played a key role in the transition to democracy. However, his presidency was also marred by scandal and corruption, and he is ultimately remembered as a flawed leader.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:340\">The African National Congress (ANC) is the oldest political party in South Africa and has been the ruling party since the first democratic elections in 1994.</p>",

"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.",
