Prigozhin death will disrupt Wagner Group activities in Africa

While it might be too early to assess the effects of the deaths of Yevgeny Prigozhin and other leaders on the Wagner Group’s operations in Africa, some analysts say there will be short-term disruptions. In this interview with the Voice of America, Steven Gruzd, SAIIA’s African Governance and Diplomacy Programme Head says, ‘There’s going to be a period of uncertainty; of people jockeying for position, of seeing who wants to take over’.

SAIIA’s leading experts are available for interviews in person or virtually. We can also arrange for press to conduct interviews on-site at our headquarters in Johannesburg or at our Cape Town office.
The views expressed are those of the interviewees and do not necessarily reflect the views of the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA).
