How the ANC destroyed its own elections

The article alleges that South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki interfered in Zimbabwe's elections to favor Zanu-PF, a 'sister liberation movement' of the ANC. This is not the first time the ANC has allegedly manipulated election results, having done so in Tanzania in 1989.

South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki allegedly played an active role in falsifying Zimbabwe's elections. According to RW Johnson, Mbeki used his influence to 'adjust' the results, ensuring Zanu-PF remained in power. The ANC has a history of manipulating election results, having annulled a democratic election among its members in Tanzania in 1989. The election was won by former prisoners from the ANC's Quatro prison camp, but was forcibly annulled by the ANC's National Executive Committee. Mbeki's actions in Zimbabwe are seen as an attempt to maintain Zanu-PF in power as a 'sister liberation movement'. This move is reportedly driven by a fear of a 'domino effect' throughout southern Africa if a liberation movement is seen to fail.
