Enigmatic heir to Mandela

Article Abstract:

It now seems certain that South African Deputy President Thabo Mbeki will replace President Nelson Mandela following elections in summer 1999. Mbeki is an enigmatic character who reveals little of his true self. He has gained respect for his intelligence and learning, and served for some time as an African National Congress representative abroad. He has shown strong commitment to free-market policies and globalization, even though the South African economy is currently struggling. However, his critics believe that he could change his approach if circumstances go against him.

Return of the wicked 'Queen of all Africans.'

Article Abstract:

Winnie Madikzela-Mandela is still popular among many South Africans, despite a suspended sentence for kidnapping and tales relating to allegations about her activities. She has received a standing ovation at a rally held by the African National Congress, and she could be rehabilitiated by a new government led by Thabo Mbkei. This could be a move to ensure that she is a supporter, and to give credibility to the new government. This move could hamper South Africa's aim to improve its image abroad.

Hopes of peace in ANC's Zulu war

Article Abstract:

Relations between the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling party, and the Zulu liberation movement remain strained. Indeed, 20,000 security forces have been deployed in Kwa-Zulu-Natal in the run-up to the second multi-race elections on Jun 2, 1999. However, the atmosphere there has become calmer. The ANC has sought to gain the moral advantage, emphasizing to voters in the region that they are free to vote as they please.
