Wasn't Zuma involved in a ton of scandals and bribery (allegations(?))
Last I read up on South Africa, the ANC's extremely dominant position means there's pseudo-one-party rule, with all the usual downsides that entails. Politicians are not beholden to the electorate as much as to the party itself, because the party controls who's up for what election.
The US/UK political parties are also pretty nauseating sometimes, but they and the free(r) press are hyper-aggressive at keeping everyone honest (to the point they make mountains out of mole-hills/grains of sand)
