Alleged Russian electoral interference:
Prior to the conclusion of the 2019 South African general election allegations that Russia was conducting an influence operation to support the election of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). The Daily Maverick and Guardian newspapers reported that Putin associate Yevgeny Prigozhin worked to undermine support for the Democratic Alliance and Economic Freedom Fighters whilst increase support for the ANC. The Daily Maverick and Dossier Center report stated that Russian political analysis worked "under the auspices of Afric and the International Anti-Crisis Center" to conduct an influence-buying and disinformation campaign. The Russian embassy in South Africa denied the accusation and stated that the accusation does "not stand [up to] basic scrutiny."
