Yes, many people in South Africa are still so racist that they do the fried chicken stereotype thing and insinuate that this is a tactic that black majority political parties use to “buy votes”.

      I think there will be a huge meltdown amongst the white body politic when the DA (white liberal opposition party) loses their official opposition status in the next elections this year. There is a huge chance of this happening.

        They’re only strong in the Western Cape, no? The EFF going to surpass them, as it did with the IFP?

        Why do you think that? It’s not evident from the polls

          Brenthurst Foundation is basically DA’s internal polling and not to be trusted. The foundation funds the DA. The latest IPSOS poll (not present on the Wikipedia page) had the DA and EFF extremely close, but that was before Zuma’s MK party got popular.

            I know wikipedia has it’s problems, but where else can you follow South-African polls? I just think it always provides a nice overview of polls in any country. Very happy to hear other suggestions!
