Political parties and voters are busy preparing for what most experts say will be South Africa's most fiercely contested Election to date. The country's elections have been dominated by the African National Congress, which assumed power during the landmark 1994 General Elections.
Good evening and welcome to Unfiltered I am your host Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh.
The governing party has consistently garnered above 60% of the vote, falling short of gaining a two-thirds majority in the 1999 polls, with a massive 65.90% of the vote. Latest opinion polls and surveys show a dramatic decline in electoral support for the ANC.
Tonight we ask: Will the ANC fall below 50%?
To help me unpack the topic I am joined in Studio by Professor David Everatt from the WITS School of Governance, Independent Political Analyst Ms Khanyi Magubane, and Mr Terry Tselane who is the Executive Chairperson of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa. On ZOOM I'm joined by Mr Ray Hartley, who is Research Director at the Brenthurst Foundation.
