The African National Congress is likely to crush its opponents once more in the Eastern Cape in the upcoming general elections.While the ANC’s support is on very shaky ground in most parts of the country, the party is likely to beat its opponents once more in the Eastern Cape in the upcoming general elections to regain control of its traditional heartland.While the party’s support dropped sharply from 70.09% in the 2014 general elections to 53.
Social commentators and analysts have for years charged that the Eastern Cape folks are loyal to the party partly because they want to protect the legacy of struggle heroes like Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Govan Mbeki, Oliver Tambo, and Walter Sisulu, who all led the ANC and hail from the province.It is for this reason that the Eastern Cape is affectionately known as the home of legends, for being home to a string of impeccable freedom fighters.
In the Western Cape, the DA has been in control since 2009, while in KZN, the predictions are strong that the former President Jacob Zuma-led MK Party will harm the ANC in the elections.Breakfast said the ANC, just like many liberation movements in the Southern African Development Community region, enjoys huge support in rural areas.
He said the Frelimo party in Mozambique, the ZANU-PF in Zimbabwe, and the SAWPO party in Namibia, much like the ANC in SA, have die-hard supporters in rural areas clinging to the good old memories of the movements.
