BBC World Service - Weekend, Why is South Africa turning against the ANC?

South Africa’s ANC suffers a setback at the polls. Why are voters turning against them?

South Africa’s long-time ruling ANC party suffers a setback at the polls, but why are voters turning against them?

And do you believe any conspiracy theories? A new book says their influence is growing in the United States.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Patrick Basham, director of the Washington-based think tank The Democracy Institute, and Ulrike Frenke, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
