CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress in the Western Cape says it believes it has put in the hard yards to bolster its position in the only province it doesn’t govern.But the party’s spokesperson Khalid Sayed said the party is relying on its strongholds in the Cape Town metro to come through for it, and even the return of many Muslim voters it had previously lost to the Democratic Alliance.But Sayed thinks the tide is turning.
“Also, the addition of new political players into the Western Cape legislature landscape needs to be welcomed. Maybe they’ll be bringing other issues which other opposition parties and even the governing party has not been able to bring to the fore.”“So, whilst our intention in taking up the Palestinian issue was never about votes, I do think that would have assisted us most certainly.”
Sayed said the party’s own polling shows good turnout in its base areas such as Khayelitsha which could see the party improve the misfortunes it has had in the last provincial polls.
