Surely this is hurting the ANC, and surely this is especially hurting Zuma's image?
Does it matter? The ANC can't lose elections.
Neither could Mapai...until they did.
Now, the ANC is not approaching a 1977-event at the next general election, or the one after that, but when it's the 2020s and they're corrupt and they've been in power for 30 years and (probably, by then) significant black non-regionalist groups have managed to build up significant followings? They'll be screwed.
See, that's what I thought once. Especially after that CORE thing. CORE was terrible too, but I had suspected that a party split would weaken the ANC % of the vote. It did not.
The Democratic Alliance is actually a pretty good opposition party. After all, I'm pretty sure almost every single person on this forum would vote for the DA if they lived in South Africa.
Meh. If it were between them and the ANC, I would. I'd prefer the UDM, even though they're just as hopeless.
