A poll conducted by the governing party found Ramaphosa has a popularity rating of 68% among South African voters, compared with 60% for the party, ANC chair Gwede Mantashe said on Friday. “He is more popular than the party in terms of the latest statistics.” The results are similar to a survey of 3,200 registered voters carried out by the Social Research Foundation in July and released two days before the panel issued its report. It found support for the ANC could collapse to between 30% and 40% should Ramaphosa leave the party.
