Changing political dynamics in South Africa as opposition parties gain ground ahead of the 2024 general election.
There has been a pronounced swing away from the ANC to the advantage of the loose coalition of opposition parties and groups that is gathered under the Multi-Party Charter umbrella.
Opposition party leaders, who have learnt over three decades to survive on the fumes of faint hopes, are full of cocky talk of this being a “watershed”, “turning point”, “last chance”, and of a government in “deep trouble”. On the other hand, the positives should be set against the powerful performance in the poll of the Economic Freedom Party – six points up at 17% of the vote – as well as the potential fragility of the MPC coalition.
Nor can the MPC easily solve the problem of DA domination and whiteness by finding a more acceptable public face. Well, not unless they could get President Cyril Ramaphosa on board.
