Elections2019: Dissatisfaction with MYANC increases among KZN's black elite
Durban - The African National Congress is expected to maintain control of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature after the May 8 general election, but there is speculation of growing discontent with the governing party among the province’s burgeoning black middle class.
The biggest threat to the party in KZN was a deepening disconnect between the ANC and the growing batch of black middle-class voters, among other constituencies, said Dube. Despite Dube's speculation, ANC KZN secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli said just last month that he was expecting the party to garner its best results since taking control of the province.
But in the 2016 local government elections the ANC secured 57.79% of the vote on a voter turnout of 3,333,298. Dube said new participants like Black First Land First, the African Content Movement and African Transformation Movement could obtain seats in the legislature.
