Next year’s voting will be in winter, when the weather and Eskom’s problems will count against the ANC — so it will cling to the issue of grants
John Steenhuisen has won re-election as DA leader and is now girding himself for next year’s polls. Former newspaper editor Songezo Zibi has launched his vehicle, Rise Mzansi, and is calling on the youth and former anti-apartheid activists to wake up and join his crusade. Julius Malema’s EFF is in fighting mood, aiming to enter its second decade of life with an increase in support from about 10% to a higher double-digit take of votes.
It is an important election, a fork in the road, for the country. As Zibi said, the election of 2024 “is our 1994. It is our crossroads. If we do not intervene now, it will be too late.” “If the focus of our struggle for liberation was to end apartheid and achieve political freedom, the focus of our efforts now must be to address inequality and ensure that every South African enjoys the fruits of democracy,” Ramaphosa said.
