ANC blow for Winnie
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The African National Congress may change its rules to make it harder for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and others seeking top party office to get nominated during next week's national conference.
Mrs Mandela, who was divorced from the South Africanpresident, Nelson Mandela, last year failed to win a nomination for ANC deputy president ahead of the ANC conference, despite her endorsement by the ANC Women's League which she heads.
