“Zille slams ANC’s ‘election bribe’”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence does not directly support the claim. Web search results mention corruption accusations against the ANC and Zille's political positioning but do not explicitly state Zille accused the ANC of an election bribe. No corroborating sources or Wikipedia entries confirm this specific claim.
