Nail biting stuff these elections. ANC throwing in NHI (which is never going to fly) to garner a few more votes. I’m surprised they did it so late, they would have got much more milage had they done it at the end of last year. Shows you how desperate they are.
Who says that the dead can’t rise? JZ is on the political trail, and the polls say he could get as much as 15% of the national vote.
Poll on ANC is around 43%
Poll on EFF is around 6%
Poll on DA is around 26%
Scenario 1 – ANC get under 50%. Party and Rand strengthen. ANC announce co-alition with EFF (might need more than EFF) Cork goes back in the champagne bottle and Rand goes through the floor.
Scenario 2 – ANC get under 50% and join with the DA. Party for years to come and Rand goes to R10.00 to the Dollar (very unlikely) land of milk and honey.
Scenario 3 – ANC get more than 50%. No party, Rand through the floor. Get all your money out and follow when ready.
The Rand has strengthened these past weeks because of some large Trade surpluses and the international view that the ANC is not going to get 50% of the votes.
