A political analyst believes President Cyril Ramaphosa's euphoria for the ANC - dubbed the 'Ramaphoria' - is the party's ace on voting day.
Pretoria - ANC president Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa is not a famed crooner, like his predecessor Jacob Zuma. Neither is he celebrated on the dance floor, as the ANC faithful in yesteryear would worship Zuma's idolised nimble-footedness in dance and flexibility. Ramaphosa appears reserved in charisma classes, only joining in groupie frenzied dance ensembles after some polite nudging.
"This factor could help the ANC to make gains at the polls. The so-called 'sympathy votes' that the ANC enjoys from the elderly and staunch ANC supporters could add value in the ANC's voter performance." Hanyane said despite the fissures of factionalism which are fuming in Africa's oldest liberation movement, Ramaphosa continues to enjoy "a full majority support in his own party".
