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: Young South Africans Reconsidering Nelson Mandela's Heritage

Kenneth Khoza is canvassing near Vilakazi Street for the uMkhonto we Sizwe party, named after the former armed wing of the African National Congress.

Some young South Africans are questioning Mandela's legacy due to the deep disillusionment in the country marked by unemployment, crime, and racial inequality.

There is a growing critique of the ruling ANC party, as some believe Mandela and the leadership of the liberation era should have taken more radical measures to correct the injustices of the apartheid era.

While the ANC is expected to emerge as the largest party in the elections, polls suggest increasing dissatisfaction with its performance, potentially ushering in a new era of coalition politics.
