After the wildfires — lessons on being prepared | SaltWire #wildfire #novascotia #thinkingoutoudJOHANNESBURG - An alliance of South African opposition parties can win a May 29 election and would bring significant change after 30 years of African National Congress government, the chairperson of the talks that led to the alliance being formed said on Wednesday.
Gumede, a professor of public management at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg who is not affiliated with any party, said the ANC had failed, citing economic stagnation, poor delivery of basic services, corruption and other problems. Others include the socially conservative Inkatha Freedom Party, which draws its support mostly from Zulus, and Freedom Front Plus, which represents the interests of the white Afrikaner community.The alliance's diversity was one of its main points, Gumede said, as South Africa needs to tap into all its talents, both in terms of its racial and cultural diversity and the dynamism of its business community, to improve its fortunes.
A March poll by the Brenthurst Foundation, a Johannesburg-based think tank, found support for the ANC at 39%, while the opposition alliance parties were collectively on 33%. MK had 13% support, while the EFF was on 10%.
