When Mandela took over as president of South Africa in 1994, the country’s economy was emerging from a long recession.
It’s a no-brainer that you’re going to have to find ways of transferring ownership of that capital.

The Zuma years

In 2008, Mbeki’s presidency came to an end when the ANC recalled him, paving the way for the ascension of his successor, Jacob Zuma, after the 2009 national and provincial elections.
Zuma’s years in office unleashed what many see as a significant turning point in South Africa’s democratic history.
Allegations of state capture and corruption dogged the Zuma presidency, particularly centred around his relationship with three businessmen called the Gupta brothers.
