Africa: The Battle for the Ballot Box - BBC Africa
The BBC’s Southern Africa Correspondent, Nomsa Maseko, asks where democracy is headed across the world’s fastest growing continent in a year when nearly a third of African nations are heading to the polls amid a surge of military takeovers, worsening security and greater repression. We hear from experts, academics and thinkers. And in her home country of South Africa, which three decades into democracy, is facing a new reckoning, Nomsa explores the new challenges this dynamic and critical country is facing.
