OPINION: Confessions of a 'floating voter' SAElections2019 | tshidi_lee

Another major example are people who want to vote for the Economic Freedom Fighters but, at the same time, are hoping that this vote is not what gives the party the edge to be in charge. Instead allowing them to continue to put pressure on the ANC to account.In my career, I can't remember seeing so many white people coming out to show their support for Cyril Ramaphosa; people who fight their hatred for the ANC and declare they they're voting for the ANC again.
Former president Thabo Mbeki has also come out to campaign for the ANC – a first since his ousting. He has begged South Africans to get behind Ramaphosa. This could give the ANC a few more votes as Mbeki is still loved by many. As the party that has positioned themselves in the media as the underdog, the EFF are anything but. This is the party that played the kingmaker in 2016 and this is where they would like to be. I don't think they would like to govern but rather be in a position where they can call the shots behind the scenes.
