'The polling worries us. That we are very low in Gauteng worries us greatly. We are very concerned, there is no way we cannot be concerned.'

"The polling worries us. That we are very low in Gauteng worries us greatly. We are very concerned, there is no way we cannot be concerned," said ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu on Thursday.

The aim was to win outright and avoid a coalition government in Gauteng, as coalition governments had proven difficult elsewhere. According to the poll, the ANC stood to get 54.7% nationally, down 1.3 percentage points down from results of a previous poll the institute conducted in December.

It will increase if you arrest those ANC members that stole from the state,because we look at politics as a form of self enrichment. Why should people vote for people that steal from them. You have promised for the past two decades to clean up corruptions and nothing happened.

Arrogance makes you believe people will vote for you , however, whichever. Really late in the day to become concerned, but worry not, your baby, EFF, is growing nicely. Just hope there is enough KFC for voting day (place your order early ANC, it is all in the planning)

You only worried about votes nothing else nothing at all

They did nothing for the poor,only fancy life they cared about.

your arrogance is a cause of all that ,and you all the same

Bring in young blood to the leadership of the party and you will gain some appeal to the youth. You old people must retire now, some of you have been there for as long as we can remember, some retire and suddenly reappear. Times are changing, ask yourselves why EFF is so popular

ANC must pin their hopes on journalists who are hellbent on destroying EFF

If your arrogance was not that big you would not be in this situation. Now that your salaries might fade away you are worried

EFF 'only party that will grow significantly' as it eats into ANCEFF 'only party that will grow significantly' as it eats into ANC. Fools outnumber intelligent ones therein is the failure of democracy. That's not true ur research is baseless, it wil grow significantly bcoz of young ppl who nevr join ANC. A person who was born in 2001 he or she is nt frm ANC. Don't make it as EFF is a second home of de ANC, EFF it is a political party itself.... This is what it must have felt like to see the Nazi party grow in Germany in 1933 and onwards.

OPINIONISTA: The ANC doesn’t need to go to Venezuela when all the facts are knownThe ANC claims to have a foreign policy based on democracy as a fundamental value but did not miss a beat before supporting the winner of a rigged election. This is antithetical to support for free and fair elections, a cornerstone of democratic societies. Unathi_Kwaza Probably not believing the Western media..😕😏🙂🤔 The ANC envies Maduro! Just like the ANC envied Mugabe! The ANC envied Bashir! They want to see with their own eyes how to fuck things up COMPLETELY

BY-ELECTIONS: ANC has a big night in Northern KZN, making gains against IFPThe ANC took two wards off the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), gaining wards in eNdumeni (Dundee) and uMhlabuyalingana in the far northern part of the province. The win in eNdumeni gave the party outright control of the council. The ANC has now won three wards off the IFP in northern KwaZulu-Natal since December 2018 and are rebounding against the IFP in this battleground part of the province. There were four other KwaZulu-Natal by-elections with the IFP and EFF registering good gains in some of the races. The DA had a convincing hold in Nelson Mandela Bay and the ANC largely held their ground in a Limpopo by-election.
