details an alleged disinformation campaign which sought to elevate support for the ANC while undermining the DA and EFF ahead of the May 8 polls.
The campaign plans included the influencing of “public rhetoric”, “generating and disseminating video content”, “coordinating with a loyal pool of journalists” and “producing pro-ANC videos”. Reports of attempts to influence the outcome of the SA elections follow a US probe into similar accusations relating to interference by the Russian government in the 2016 US elections which led to Donald Trump becoming president.
