My article on party financing in Africa is out! I study challenges faced by opposition parties in financing elections. Democracy costs $. When parties do not have $ they are likely going to lose.

Zimbabweans asking if SA has done enough for us how do you think we got the Zim special permits to SA? Those permits have saved entire families. It’s a very generous policy that came from the hardwork of people who wanted to help us. Of course not everyone thinks the same
