President Zuma's history of corruption.

The US says its intervention in Yemen is because Iran is sending arms to the Houthis in Yemen. Arms were found in boats, but evidence suggests it was bound for Somalia instead.
More fundamentally, even if Iran is sending arms to the Houthis, so what? Salafi Arabia has sent plenty of arms to jihadis; that is a much bigger harm to western countries. It makes no sense for the US to support Salafi Arabia's war crimes.
Most election spending this year in the US is "outside" funds, often from hidden sources.
