The recent Markdata survey commissioned by eNCA, analyzed by R.W. Johnson, unveils a landscape of political discontent in South Africa. With the ANC's vote plummeting to 41.4% and a surge in support for the MK party at 10.9%, alongside widespread disillusionment with the ruling elite, the survey paints a picture of a populace yearning for change.
