, while the once squeaky-clean SA Revenue Service and the public protector's office are also falling short in the eyes of the public.Less than half of voters went to the polls in this year’s national and provincial elections, with many giving various reasons for not voting. Citizen Surveys, which conducts the research, said it tested these reasons among a nationally-representative sample of South Africans.
Reza Omar, strategic research director at Citizen Surveys, commented that from the survey's findings: “It is clear that South Africans are frustrated with political parties not keeping their election promises, corrupt politicians, subsequent to voting being ignored by the political establishment, and the constant bickering between political parties and factionalism within the parties when there are so many priority problems that need to be urgently addressed.
“This drop of 5% over a three-month period is not surprising, considering the amount of political commentary regarding the national elections and state of the nation address that occurred between the months of April and June," said Omar. Another public institution losing the trust of the South African public is Sars, which fell from 61% in April to 58% in June.
