The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said there was no need to panic, as the bigger voting stations were yet to be finalised.
The EFF said there was no need to panic, as the bigger voting stations were yet to be finalised.This is despite former President Jacob Zuma’s newly formed uMkhonto we Sizwe party performing strongly in the national and provincial elections. On Friday, the MK party moved past the Red Berets as the third most popular party in the country behind the African National Congress and Democratic Alliance .
“We are quite happy with the progress that we are making because we know where these votes are coming. Our strongholds, VD’s with the big numbers in the main which are the people who are voting for the EFF also, are still coming,” Maotwe said.Naidoo said the MK party could become a significant player in South Africa’s political landscape, adding that it had been marginalised by other parties including the governing ANC, Zuma’s former political home.
“When you look at the top five parties in order, the thing that’s interesting for me is that you’ve got this third, fourth and fifth place between MK, EFF and PA. But what’s really interesting is, there may be, if the trend continues, this interesting dynamic emerging where the MK will become the third largest opposition party in the country,” Naidoo said.
