ANC Trails in South African Capital and Johannesburg, Poll Shows
Michael Cohen, Bloomberg, 23 June 2016
South Africa's ruling African National Congress is losing ground to the main
opposition party in the capital, Pretoria, the key economic hub of
Johannesburg and the southern city of Port Elizabeth, according to the
latest public opinion survey before Aug. 3 municipal elections.
In Johannesburg, 31 percent of respondents said they would vote for the ANC,
1 percent less than the Democratic Alliance, according to the eNCA poll,
which was done by research company Ipsos, the broadcaster said.
The DA had 36 percent support in the Tshwane municipality, which includes
Pretoria, and the ANC 27 percent, while in the Nelson Mandela Bay
municipality, which incorporates Port Elizabeth, the DA had 37 percent
backing and the ANC 27 percent, the poll found. The Economic Freedom
Fighters had 9 percent support in all three areas, while 18 percent of
respondents said they were undecided.
Support for the DA in all three cities was 3 percentage points higher than
in a June 6-7 eNCA poll, while backing for the ANC was unchanged in
Johannesburg and slipped in Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay.
The poll, which was conducted on June 20 and 21 and based on 1,509 telephone
interviews, is the latest evidence that the ANC is losing support.
