The Electoral Roadshow with Wayne Sussman

Loading player...
In his latest appearance on BizNews, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman dissects the results from the last two rounds of hard by-elections. In Soweto (Emdeni Naledi) the ANC fell sharply from 56% in 2021 to only 34%. “This is an astonishing result, and one which would really worry the ANC greatly,” Sussman says. Over in Durban, the DA won all three of Montclair voting districts, which uMkhonto we Sizwe won just over a year ago - and grew from 56% to 63%. “This is one of the best results they've had.” The PA achieved an historic result by winning their first ever ward (Kou-Kamma) in the Eastern Cape with 48% of the vote. The EFF gave the ANC a “major fright” in the Free State township of Kgotsong where the ANC fell from 54% to 50% while the EFF surged from 25% to 47%. Sussman also previews upcoming by-elections.
