2019 Elections: The big metro race: ‘56% in Gauteng’ – ANC, ‘Hell, no’ – DA By Ferial Haffajee ferialhaffajee

The ANC is on track for a slim victory of between 53% and 56% of the Gauteng vote, says pollster

Winning Gauteng has been the centrepiece of the DA’s campaign and it moved its party headquarters from Cape Town to Johannesburg to do so. The tiny province packs a punch in people and money might. It is an important symbolic centre of power. As the election campaign sun sets in the province this weekend, the three leading parties will fight for final votes here. Gauteng still has a high number of floating or undecided voters. In total population, there are 15 million people who call it home.It’s a remarkable and pulsating place.

Everatt has found the ANC has the support of 56% of the black middle class which researchers classify as people who earn R11,000 or more per month and 63% of the total surveyed.

Elections 2019: It’s all a little below par | Elections | M&GCan President Cyril Ramaphosa bring traditional ANC voters back into the fold, despite the manifest flaws of his own party, and thereby give himself more political room for manoeuvre, to drive his reform agenda more decisively in government? Nothing new, same old lies except the vibrancy of EFF and its position on land and advancing black majority interests With elections boring is good. I'll take a boring election any day. The only party to include any semblance of policy on posters is the DA.
