ANC set to secure 66%

Die stommiteit van die liberalistiese gelykstellingsideologie waar die klem op ontkenning van ras en verskil val, en “majority rule” democracy beteken, sal die getalsbegrip dat ‘n meerderheid noodwendig meer is as ‘n minderheid, stadig maar seker tot elke blanke kieser se skuldbelade en benewelde verstand deurdring. Wanneer sommige wat verwag dat die ANC ernstig swakker gaan vaar vanweë swak dienslewering en Zuma se jakkalsdraaie, verslae na die verkiesingsuitslag na 7 Mei 2014 kyk en daar weinig indien enige verandering plaasgevind het. Dit is eers dan dat mnr. Jaap Marais se herhaalde waarskuwing, helaas ook net by sommige sal grondvat, nl. Dat Afrika ons aanskouingsles is. Mag dit dan ons volk se samehorigheid versterk in verset teen die onreg ons aangedoen!

33 PARTIES WHO'D REGISTERED FOR THE 7 MAY ELECTIONS

Cape Town – The Electoral Commission (IEC) said on Tuesday four of the 33 parties who'd registered for the 7 May elections have not made the deadline for paying their deposits. The final list of candidates will be announced by 22 April. The parties which fell by the wayside are the African Unite Party, Iqela Lentsango – Dagga Party, Lekgotla for Democracy Advancement and the South African Progressive Civil Organisation.

The IEC said the 29 parties which would take part in the elections, is still the highest number to contest polls in a national election in South Africa. Parties were issued with notices from the Electoral Commission last week in respect of around 300 candidates, indicating non-compliance of the requirements to submit candidate lists and pay deposits. The lists of candidates for each party (national, regional and provincial) will be published for public inspection from 28 March.

The Economic Freedom Fighters launched a failed court bid to reduce the deposits, but managed to make payment in time.

ANC set to secure 66%

A survey has found that the ANC looks set to win a two-thirds majority in the elections. Cape Town - A Sunday Times survey has found that contrary to public speculation, the ANC looks set to win a two-thirds majority in this year’s elections. The survey, carried out by Ipsos on behalf of the newspaper, found that the ANC has 66.1% of voter support, that 22.9% support the Democratic Alliance and 3.7% are in favour of Economic Freedom Fighter leader Julius Malema.

In the 2009 elections, the ruling party garnered only 65.9% of the vote.

While the survey was concluded before the release of the Nkandla report on the security upgrades at President Jacob Zuma’s homestead, it found that ANC-inclined voters felt the drama was more a Zuma issue than an ANC matter.
