BNC London: Cronje Q&A - Coalition and electoral challenges post-May 29
At the BizNews Conference in London, Frans Cronje discussed the ANC's electoral prospects, the influence of Jacob Zuma, and the dynamics between the ANC and EFF. He analysed the ANC's strategic behaviour and potential alliances, emphasizing the pragmatic and cautious approach the party often takes. Cronje highlighted the complexities within the ANC and its resistance to extreme leftist policies, suggesting that despite internal and external challenges, a complete collapse of the ANC or South African governance is unlikely. He also addressed the implications for smaller parties and the potential for future political and economic recovery in South Africa.

Frans Cronje is one of the best political analysts. I wish the political leaders would listen to him.
Always look forward to Dr frans cronje insights
I like how he answers.
Mr biggest take away from this talk is the impressive South African Society relevant to the world. Somehow that has been our saving grace everytime we are on the brink of a precipice even though we have a propensity to self destruct.
Whatever the outcome, the next party to step into office will have a really hard time recovering the losses that the ANC has accrued over 30 years. It will take a few generations.

One of the most valueable lessons I've learned is that 'hope is not a strategy' and that history shows that the majority of people, when faced with the unknown, will opt for irrationality over logic. It doesn't matter who wins in SA with global dynamics changing at their current rate. Imo

2024 is just another step in a long journey. Agreed that it might be easier to try view this election in isolation but if we view our country on a 30 year timeline. These elections should be seen as the beginning of a transition and not a do-or-die scenario, which ever way the polls reflect on 29 May nothing will come right or fall apart in a day.

Data mining analysis do that to a person. It made people feel very uncomfortable when he asked what replaces the ANC? If you don't have experience in international relations and security intelligence. You will be shoked how many international crooks are out there and how you were protected.
Dr Frans C sort of hits the nail on the head but still praying for a miracle . PA good manifesto but he let DA down 4x and seems to do coalitions with ANC and EFF thats worrying
Indeed, after the results come out, we need to direct it slowly. Every sane person in SA needs to buy in to what the leaders decide

An unbiased, measured opinion
Coalition has never worked amongst the parties they still scramble for power ignoring the poignant value of working for the public
Ask yourself whether it would have served the country better if the medical industry had actually initiated a public but disclosive campaign to integrate state and private care. Free at the point of service ( to those who cannot pay) NHS in the UK is a joke as it exists..

While I don't doubt this, you guys seem to forget how good ruling parties are at keeping their consistent voters. Zuma is not a factor at allllll. This seems more hopeful than realistic, we hope Zuma takes ANC and EFF votes. Does this mean the day Zuma said I am back, EFF people ran and said F-it we are going for Zuma, Zuma takes Zulu voters who were not interested in voting not EFF voters. No way Zuma gets 10% unless KZN is now the whole of SA.
The popularity of Zuma is as much a risk to SA as crime
But he really never finishes answering questions though

Helicopter view analysis and term in - term out, they wonder how they got it wrong... the only way to understand how the majority voters think/feel and thus, how they will vote is to be on the ground. You don't need to be too academic, just be observant. The MK is not gonna take much of the EFFs vote, MK voters are largely ANC voters who are disgruntled with how the Zuma issue was handled, how the Umkhonto weSizwe was disbanded, and also how Cyril Ramaphosa runs the organization. So, the ANC will shed most of their votes. I would even say in KZN, the MK will affect the IFP even more than the EFF, more so now with the departing of Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, President Zuma is seen and respected as a Senior Zulu Leader than Velenkosini Hlabisa. EFF voters are largely people who were disgruntled with Zuma and how Julius Malema was chased out of the ANC, they are not gonna leave Juju for Zuma in large number. But also, another point you are missing is how the EFF and MK can combine their vote to have a larger leverage against the ANC in negotiations after elections.
But guys why there is so much hate fir the EFF. How is MK taking EFF supporters because the people who love Zuma hate EFF for removing him in the presidency.
