As with many other things I've learnt at the WEF this week, voters' sharp swing away from the ruling political party is no South African aberration.
A surprising aspect of my Davos week has been the way usually well-informed South Africa watchers appear to be ignorant about the seismic change in our politics. A transformation evident again this week in the staggering results of a Mtubatuba by-election where the IFP captured a seat won in November 2021 by the ANC with 77% of the vote.
