Glencore has been accused of financing President Cyril Ramaphosa's CR17 campaign in 2017, amid allegations of corruption and vote-buying within the ANC. According to civil society organization Real Democracy, the company admitted to corruption and bribery in the UK and US, and reportedly received a billion-dollar fine.
