ELECTIONS BRIEFS: Make no mistake, the ANC is in deep trouble

When it became clear last week that the ANC was not going to suffer the kind of massive drop in support that they feared was on the cards, Jessie Duarte , Fikile Mbalula and a whole coterie of party leaders at the results centre in Pretoria walked around grinning and laughing.

The ANC is in deep trouble, and while much cutting criticism has been reserved for the ineptitude of the DA to capitalise on the Zuptas, state capture and grand corruption, President Cyril Ramaphosa would do well to force his party to engage in some navel gazing.- The 2019 national election results were the worst in the party's electoral history.- Its loss of support of 4,64 percentage points between 2014 and 2019 is the worst it has ever suffered.

News24's elections analyst is preparing a deep-dive into the ANC's numbers, but the headline numbers do not augur well for the party. Its levels of support have been on a consistent downward trajectory since 2004, with the big shock to the system coming during the 2016 municipal elections.

PieterDuToit The ANC may be on a downward trajectory, but all that matters to this arrogant party, is that it is still in power despite the unbelievable scale of the fraud, corruption & looting it's leaders have been involved in!

too late already! The damage has grown into an incurable cancer!
