No, not that presidential election.
I'm talking about South Africa's upcoming presidential election. In April 2009, we will be in country to witness an election in one of the world's newest democracies in action!
It should be very interesting. Because the ANC dominates South African politics, the ANC president is virtually assured to be elected South Africa's leader. The current ANC president, Jacob Zuma, is planning to stand for the presidency in 2009. That is, if he wins an upcoming corruption trial. Yesterday, Zuma lost a constitutional court ruling in which he argued that certain evidence should not be introduced. Not looking good.
It appears that the South African courts will decide whether Zuma will be the next president of South Africa.
