Elections2019: There are only four days to what is said to be the most important election since 1994 and voter confidence remains at an all-time low, writes masoki23 in WeekendArgus MzansiVotes
Cape Town - The commission of inquiry into state capture, Eskom load shedding in March and rising unemployment rate have all had an impact on voter apathy, particularly among the youth.
According to the 2019 Q1 South African Citizens Survey report released late last month and based on an expected turn-out of 77%, 4% more than the 2014 voter turn-out, EFF support has risen to 11%, which is 2% more than what it was in February this year. The survey also revealed that the number of apathetic voters in South Africa has reached an all-time high. More than 5 million registered voters, or about 19%, are unmotivated ahead of the upcoming election.“We have taken note of different polls.
Jacobs remained confident and said: “Our focus now is not on forming coalitions, but to give the president the decisive victory that he is calling for. The EFF and the DA are in coalition in Johannesburg and Tshwane. The EFF, like the DA, bubbles with resentment against the ANC.” “Voters have a choice between a vote for DA service delivery and clean government, or a vote to let the ANC back into government with a smaller party,” said Wenger.
