CapeTalk host Kieno Kammies speaks to Melanie Verwoerd, a former NC MP and SA Ambassador to Ireland, about coalition politics and how it might impact upcoming elections.
CAPE TOWN - In the runup to 2019 general election, CapeTalk host Kieno Kammies takes a look at the some of the various angles related to elections.
On the question of what it would take for the ANC to lose the election, Verwoerd says one needs to go into demographics because people vote largely along racial lines. “The question we need to ask is whether South Africa is ready for coalition governments? People got very excited about it around local government because they felt that it was breaking the stronghold of the ANC, which it did,” said Verwoerd.
