Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
- The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.
- Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.
- While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.
- Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.

Quick Glance: Zuma Fails Again in Attempt to Remove Downer, Plans Appeal
- Former president Jacob Zuma once more faced defeat in his efforts to have lead prosecutor advocate Billy Downer removed from his arms-deal corruption case.
- During proceedings on Wednesday, Pietermaritzburg high court judge Nkosinathi Chili dismissed Zuma's request, citing insufficient evidence that Downer's involvement could violate Zuma's right to a fair trial.
- Despite the unfavorable outcome, Zuma intends to lodge an appeal and suggests pausing the trial indefinitely to strategize the next steps.
- Following Downer's insistence on setting trial dates promptly, both parties agreed to delay the trial until a 'pretrial conference' scheduled for May 17.

Polish ruling coalition moves to put central bank governor on trial: Adam Glapiński has dismissed the accusations against him as "idiotic".
notesfrompoland.com/2024/03/26/polish-ruling-coalition-moves-to-put-central-bank-governor-on-trial/
Quick Glance: Motion to Bring Polish Central Bank Chief Before Tribunal
- Polish lawmakers will submit a motion to bring the central bank chief before the State Tribunal, as part of a broader effort by the government to hold accountable those accused of wrongdoing.
- Governor Adam Glapinski is accused of lacking independence from the previous government, breaking constitutional rules, and misleading the finance ministry about the bank's financial results. The process to remove Glapinski could be lengthy, as the motion must be investigated by a parliamentary commission before going to a full chamber vote.
- Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, warned Glapinski in a letter that any such move could be referred to the EU's top court as it might impact the central bank's independence.
- Glapinski defends his work, emphasizing that quantitative easing was crucial to save the largest economy in the east of the European Union during the pandemic. Investigations could start in April, after an Easter break, according to deputy head of the commission, Dariusz Jonski.
