Time to go to our third segment where we zoom into a country on the African continent. 

Today we look into Chad and Benin where presidential elections were held this week. In Chad it is widely expected that incumbent Idris Deby will win a sixth term. 

Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres are among those who have voiced criticism. 

And in Benin opposition groups boycotted the election rejecting to President Patrice Talon’s quest for a second term.
Benin was once praised as a vibrant democracy in the region, but most opposition figures are now exiled, disqualified by electoral reforms or have been targeted for investigation by a special court.

We are now joined on the line by Dr Charles Sinkala 55 States President and Organisation of African Political Parties.

Zooming into Africa

The final state capture report has exposed a series of glaring gaps in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s testimony on the widespread looting of state resources.

It also showed that he lied when quizzed on the work of the high-level review panel on the State Security Agency.

In July 2019, former President Jacob Zuma took the stand at the state capture commission and insisted that he had no prior knowledge of the Guptas’ now infamous 2013 use of the Waterkloof military airbase. Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has recommended that the country’s Constitution be changed to allow for the president to be directly elected.
