South Africa’s newly formed political party, Rise Mzansi, pledged to tackle constraints to investment and employment ahead of the nation’s 2024 vote.
More than 350 parties are currently eligible to contest the 2024 election where the ruling African National Congress is expected to lose ground after 30 years in office. The Rise Mzansi party was launched in April and is led by Songezo Zibi, a former communications official at Barclays Africa Ltd and journalist.
