However, elections monitoring expert Wayne Sussman said while it was important to welcome polls that gave an insight into to what South Africans are thinking, “it’s also a snap shot. It’s a long time until the 2024 elections and a lot can happen”.“Crime and load shedding can get under control or even worsen, and those are some of the major issues which can influence the elections,” he said.
“Gauteng has most of the voters in SA, but the ANC, DA and EFF all struggled in the 2021 local government elections,” he said. By-election trends were also suggesting South Africans were looking at alternatives that were very particular to their communities.One of those could mean voters feel ‘we’d rather support a party that can represent us, which we know has KZN and Zulu interests at heart’., and it tells us a lot of white, Afrikaans voters are saying we’d rather support a party that has our specific community needs at heart,” Sussman said.
