Zuma Cleared to Run in South African Election | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Jacob Zuma, the former President of South Africa, has been cleared to contest is the upcoming general election. He has been barred from the polls because of a 15-month prison sentence, but the disqualification has been overturned on appeal. This sets Zuma on the path to take on his former party, the African National Congress. The ANC has ruled South Africa since 1994, but this year they face a tough contest because of widespread discontent. Zuma and his new party, the uMkhonto we Sizwe, are expected to take 10-15% of the vote share. This could lead to the ANC not securing a majority. Will Zuma become kingmaker after the May 29 election?
