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.

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.

    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.

    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.
