JOHANNESBURG - South Africa, Africa’s most mature democracy, is watching the American election with great interest — and trepidation. American diplomat-turned-journalist Brooks Spector, who has lived in South Africa since the 1970s, says South Africans’ fascination with the U.S. is understandable. The act allowed South Africa to export $8.55 billion dollars' worth of goods, duty free, to the U.S. in 2018. But some South Africans, like photographer Ezra Qua-Enoo, say they are indifferent to the world’s largest economy. This election may be unfolding on the other side of the world, South Africans say, but the result could affect their lives too — and they are watching.
