Quick Glance: South Africa's Main Opposition Party Considers ANC Deal
- South Africa's second most popular party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), would consider a deal with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) if the ANC fails to secure the majority in the upcoming elections.
- President Cyril Ramaphosa or a successor would require a coalition to stay in power, as South Africa's parliament elects the president.
- The DA has formed alliances with smaller parties to garner the necessary votes for a takeover, including a focus on privatizing the power sector and reducing bureaucratic obstacles in the private sector.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen emphasized the party's stance on privatization and streamlining operations in the private sector, steering away from state providers like Eskom.

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: Court Rejects Delayed ANC Bid to Block Use of MK Trademark by Zuma's MK Party
- The KwaZulu-Natal High Court has dismissed the ANC’s bid to prohibit Jacob Zuma’s MK party from using the names and symbols of its disbanded anti-apartheid military wing.
- The judgment handed down allows the recently-established MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, to use the 'uMkhonto we Sizwe' name and symbols.
- The judgment highlighted that the ANC only considered the consequences of the name and symbols' use after Zuma publicly declared his support for the MK party.
- The court deemed the ANC's delayed application as 'self-created' due to the responsibility falling on party secretary general Fikile Mbalula to ensure timely action.

Quick Glance: EFF's Shivambu as Finance Minister Would Truly Spook the Markets
- In typical EFF fashion, politician Julius Malema recently made the controversial statement that the EFF would only consider a coalition with the ANC after the elections if EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu is appointed finance minister.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen did not mince his words at the recent launch of his party’s Western Cape manifesto in Paarl, in the Drakenstein Municipality.
- Steenhuisen warned that under a coalition with Shivambu as finance minister, the EFF would unleash its destructive economic policies to turn South Africa into the next Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
- Investment strategist Izak Odendaal from Old Mutual Wealth says it is unlikely that Shivambu would take on what is arguably the most important Cabinet position, even in the event of an ANC-EFF coalition.

Quick Glance: South Africa's Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny
- In a mirror image of Pik Botha’s missions during apartheid to sell South Africa's 'good intentions' to the US, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor is striving to defend her government's somewhat battered foreign policy.
- South Africa seems to believe that maintaining good relations with the White House allows it to challenge US sentiments, values, and interests in international relations without jeopardizing its economic ties.
- Following the Ukraine invasion and our misguided stance, it is crucial for South Africa to rediscover its democratic foundations and advocate for ordinary people across the continent who seek transparent and accountable freely elected governments.
- A recurring pattern emerges: South Africa takes hasty positions and hastily retraces its steps when faced with diplomatic repercussions. The ANC now confronts the chilly winds of disapproval, struggling to cope, partly due to its overwhelming commitment to sanctimonious ideological rhetoric that clouds its judgment.
