The ANC’s decline is not just a turnout story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CRA Research Associate Ofentse Davhie shows that the ANC's long decline is two separate problems, not one. Falling turnout masked a party losing supporters to abstention rather than to rivals. Measured against the full voters’ roll, the ANC's mandate fell from 52.8% in 2004 to 23.6% in 2024, and the arrival of “credible" alternatives has converted dormant disaffection into outright defection at both tiers of government.To book a briefing, contact Ofentse at ofentse@cra-sa.com or visit our websit
