IDEAS - Africa Talks Public Lecture
Tuesday 25 November 2014, 6.30 - 8:30pm, Thai Theatre, New Academic Building, LG. 03
Speaker: Dr Mzukisi Qobo; Chair: Professor Chris Alden
Widely considered to be Africa’s oldest liberation movement, the African National Congress (ANC) played a historic role in ending apartheid in South Africa and has been the country’s ruling political party since 1994. More recently, however, the ANC's legacy has been tarnished by allegations of corruption and inefficiency. Dr Mzukisi Qobo will discuss his view that political governance in South Africa has collapsed, and explore the possibilities of the country’s political future.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket or pre-registration required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information please email us here.
