JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s four main political parties began the final weekend of campaigning Saturday before a possibly pivotal election that could bring the country’s most important change in three decades. “We have a plan to get more South Africans to work,” Ramaphosa said. Party leader John Steenhuisen made a speech while supporters in the DA’s blue colors held up blue umbrellas. Disaffected South Africans have gone to an array of different opposition parties, some of them new. South Africans vote for parties and not directly for their president in national elections.
