The Zuma Conspiracy?

9 Comments

With South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) widely expected to win this week's general election, Dateline examines the political ramifications as controversial party leader Jacob Zuma prepares to take on the presidency.

We speak to ANC Deputy Secretary General Thandi Modise about the long campaign and the watershed election that has split the party and changed the country's political landscape.

We follow with a discussion with veteran South African editor and journalist Allister Sparks about Zuma - a leader who portrays himself as a champion of the poor.

Find out more this Sunday, 8:30pm on Dateline.
