How will the 2024 US election shape relations with Africa?

South African broadcaster Redi Tlhabi joins Alan to explore what鈥檚 at stake for Africa and why this election matters for African nations, leaders, and communities in the US

The 2024 US election, set for Tuesday November 5, could have major implications for African economies and African communities in the United States.

As Africa鈥檚 global significance grows, the election may reshape US engagement in areas like investment, health, security, and climate policy. On one side, former President Donald Trump has pledged to prioritise domestic issues, which could mean a reduction in US aid and military presence abroad. In contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has focused on climate action, strengthening international partnerships, and expanding social programs.

South African broadcaster, Redi Tlhabi, joins Alan Kasujja to explore what鈥檚 at stake for Africa and why this election matters for African nations, leaders, and communities in the US.
