South African election: ANC vote drops to 40%. Democratic Alliance (coalition of right wing/white parties) gets 29%/ MK party (split from ANC to the right by former President Zuma) gets 14.5% EFF get 9.3% (a drop I think from over 10% last time). Voter turn out was only 58.4% a large drop from the last election where it was close to 65%. On Dough Henwoods' show on Pacifica Radio he interviews an South African activist who does a spectacular job of analysis. His conclusion is that the ANC has turned into a neo-liberal party and has no heart in the matter. He argued that among many ANCers there is a hope that ANC doesn't form a government in order that the ANC can be re-dynamized and get a new life. He said it was old and barely left wing anymore.
