ANALYSIS: Land, race and Ramaphosa: How a shift in the white vote is affecting the DA SAElections2019 | AletJvRens
"That is a real shift in the white electorate and complicates the DA's math. They're losing white votes but getting black votes," says Scholtz."It's very explicitly racial. The DA is talking about race-based redistribution. They are making noises about BEE. Conservative white voters very actively oppose those things and that's what it fundamentally comes down to.
Patricia de Lille's GOOD party may have also eaten into the coloured vote in the Western Cape and is expected to get about 4% here. This will be offset somewhat by the DA's extra votes from high turnout and black support in the province."As much as the DA was a lesson in self destruction, the Western Cape ANC has just done it over a longer term," says Verwoerd."They have had leadership issues for a long time.
