First, I talked to the director of the Ichikowitz Family Foundation, Ivor Ichikowitz, who outlines the impact of corruption in South Africa and why the youth vote will be important. 

Then I received Mary Paccard and Vincent Jackson, two South Africans living in France, to discuss how and why they campaigned for the main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, from abroad.
