ANC rivalries in KwaZulu-Natal lead to multiple assassinations

How Daphne Mashile-Nkosi has kept the helm of troubled Kalagadi Manganese

Threatened last month with exclusion from the management of Kalagadi Manganese, the mining company she founded, Daphne Mashile-Nkosi has managed, for now at least, to remain in charge of this major South African concern.
