The ANC is losing its grip from within (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ANC's failure to register candidates to contest the 24 November 2026 local government elections in key stronghold municipalities is an expression of the leadership paralysis in the party as its leader, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, fighting impeachment, is now a lame-duck unable to stamp his authority, causing the party to drift aimlessly. It is also an indication of his next-in-line ANC leaders' incompetence, lack of authority and carelessness. The administrative ineptness of sec
Zhu Rongji: The former no-nonsense premier who helped save China from economic collapse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Zhu Rongji, China's premier from 1998 to 2003, who, along with Jiang Zemin, successfully steered the country to a market economy and engineered its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2001, died on 12 August aged 97.

The Free Market Foundation wrote that "he understood that a
Many African leaders would do well to follow UK Keir Starmer’s lead in resigning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former British prime minister Keir Starmer, who came to power in a landslide victory in July 2024, resigned less than two years after he failed to deliver the promised higher economic growth, cut the cost of living and turn around ailing public services. This should serve as an example to African leaders who cling to power, even if they fail in government or are embroiled in corruption and personal scandals. Even after failing for long periods in power, sometimes decades, many African leaders as
