South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.

bbc.com/news/articles/cd18rkxx64no

Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections

An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.

While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.

The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.

The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Quick Glance: Gisele Bündchen Breaks Down in Tears to Florida Police Over Paparazzi 'Stalking' Her: 'I Just Want to Live My Life'

Shortly after an incident on the road in Surfside, Florida, the 43-year-old supermodel Gisele Bündchen broke down in tears, claiming to have been harassed by paparazzi.

During an encounter with a police officer, Bündchen became visibly upset and discussed being followed by the paparazzi.

After being released with a 'courtesy' by a Surfside officer, the overwhelmed mother of two broke down in tears over her safety.

In October 2022, the 13-year marriage of Bündchen and Brady, 46, came to an end. Since then, Bündchen has purchased a modest home near Miami Beach and a sprawling horse ranch in South Florida, while Brady awaits the completion of his luxury bachelor pad on the exclusive Indian Creek Island.
