South Africa is grappling with a wave of violence that has largely targeted foreign nationals from other African countries.

Could South Africa go the same way as Zimbabwe?

The South African parliament is accused of tacitly supporting attacks on white farmers after it passed a motion which could see farmland redistributed without compensation.

The president fired his popular finance minister to widespread criticism.

Malema said that Mugabe must "pass on the baton" like Fidel Castro did in Cuba.

Two major, interconnected issues have plunged South African politics into crisis.

The EFF leader said his party would not enter coalitions with either the ANC or the DA.

The ANC has ruled virtually unopposed since the end of apartheid in 1994.

The ANC is in danger of losing the dominance it has held since the end of apartheid.

Could the opposition leader realize South Africa's non-racial dream?

Members of the leftwing Economic Freedom Fighters have a habit of getting expelled from parliament.

Malema has threatened to remove Jacob Zuma's government "through the barrel of a gun."

The opposition leader said his party will take up arms if the ANC attempts to rig elections.

Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters say the incident was an act of "intimidation".

The country's highest court has ruled that Zuma violated the constitution over the Nkandla scandal.

The Guptas oversee a business empire in South Africa and have employed three of Zuma's family members.

Zuma is in trouble over upgrades to his palatial homestead, but is unlikely to be impeached.

Opposition party members were ejected for heckling Zuma over his state-funded home improvements.

The South African president used state funds to make build himself a swimming pool and amphitheatre.

The recent violence is also hampering regional relations as Nigeria threatens to recall its ambassador.
