Part 3/7:
Gabriel elaborated on the ANC's declining standing, specifically attributing it to a public disillusionment with governmental policies that seem reminiscent of previous administrations. The ANC has struggled to distance itself from the perception of failed populist policies, such as the controversial National Health Insurance (NHI) legislation. The dissatisfaction is reflected in data indicating that two-thirds of voters oppose expropriation without compensation, which many believe will negatively impact foreign investment.
Ultimately, this significant drop in support for the ANC suggests that voters are not merely seeking a transition from ANC governance; they are looking for tangible solutions that address their needs.
