The Western Cape government and premier Helen Zille topped the performance list of provincial governments.
A poll just released two days before South Africans go to the polls on Wednesday gives President Cyril Ramaphosa 6.5 out of 10 rating as a political party leader.
According to the research, Ramaphosa’s received a good score compared to scores of the leaders of the main opposition parties in the country. The survey also looked at speculation that the president might replace current deputy president David Mabuza after Wednesday’s general election and replace him with Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Looking at the scores out of these two leaders, it is evident that Dlamini-Zuma was more popular than the current deputy president among registered voters, but by a rather narrow margin. Dlamini-Zuma scored 4.2 as a political leader on this scale, while Mabuza scored 3.9.
There is definitely less appreciation for local authorities and less than half, 49 percent, said that their municipality was doing its job very or fairly well, possibly part of the cause of the current widespread service delivery protests in the country.
