8:22 pm
neither have the problems every day south africans thousands gathered in the party colors to choose who they think were resolve their main concerns inequality unemployment and corruption while for others access to basic services like electricity and sanitation will determine who they'll choose the african national congress has led the country since the end of apartheid but it's accused of not doing enough and it faces major challenges from the democratic alliance and the economic freedom fighters policy but president obama five believes he's done enough to convince south africans to return to power. before we speak to our guests malcolm webber has this report from johannesburg. this is the final. sad because the only african. wednesdays an exit. strategy. will come in one thousand nine hundred forty one every election but it.

8:24 pm
africa's four. hundred five this is a silly law says one of a long time for the big fellow opponents and also putting them under the civil servant lad a reason to do so just on duty right now we are saying this would never come back up at me south africa's largest opposition party the democratic alliance held its final rally on saturday the last fall of unsound just over a face of the seats but. it's been steadily but slowly increasing in spite of the ever growing criticisms of the disenfranchisement among some a.n.c. supporters many more than a. yes the many have believed that come wednesday. we will take its majority with us on the margin that it ever had little. to inside story. let's go to our guests in
8:25 pm
johannesburg grant lost a son head of program for political institutions and processes at the electoral institute for sustainable democracy on skype from cape town a solution i do research at the institute for global dialogue a south african think tank let me begin with you in cape town is this a case solve the a.n.c. better the devil you know all the economic freedom fighters and the democratic alliance and it's time for south africans to have a change it's a difficult question to answer because i think what we are witnessing in south africa is there a contest to today in the a.n.c. coming in in one to four was definitely on the back of your florek transition democracy people were very. jubilant about the fact that this is going to be a substantial democracy twenty five years later we look at this electoral democracy and we look at the multi-party democracy and we see voters being very uncertain not
8:26 pm
clear about who they want to vote for i think there's a sense that they want to go but just not sure whether it's the a.n.c. or whether it's the if they have or any other political party and of course what we are witnessing is all of the governance deficit in that is influenced the mindset so i think in a sense when you look at democratic theory it's about great from the best to the worst but i think is that africa right now you're looking at you know who's the least worse if you want to use that terminology and then of course going down the list from this i think is he in many way is you know it has to reestablish that kind of. moving large in the mindset of its both its support base which has been. gradually declining and of course at the provincial level if you took a call can you look at. what you call the eastern cape etc there's been contestation i mean cutting is the biggest level in which country stations going to take place and questions of whether we're going to see coalition governments which
8:27 pm
president of course has come out very moment and denied and said we don't like coalitions but again you know this is what's happening at the more at the at the subnational level for the country so i think for the a.n.c. it's about basically that psychological barrier between a few fifty eight percent and a sixty percent but also in terms of how the voters are looking at it in terms of performance in terms of service delivery and whether they have met their interest or have they just used the party or people using the party to basically advance their interests as well this is a key election concerns a lot of the voters growing losses and in johannesburg a lot of people very concerned about corruption inequality and they're taking a look at the n.c. now and saying to themselves well you've had twenty five years is that is that a fair description of what many voters are thinking. you know i don't think that there's one issue for any vote it's such a complex choice for voters in south africa right now as an issue rightly said
8:28 pm
corruption is right up there you know we had a situation where if we had carried jacob zuma into the elections for the a.n.c. i think we'd be talking about a very different electoral scenario because he had become an extremely unpopular person personally and as president and the a.n.c. recognize that this was becoming a liability for them so they made a very very important change introducing sorum opposers president and he's almost rejuvenated the a.n.c. and been able to allow the a.n.c. in some senses to wash its hands of the zuma regime so whilst the country remains mired in the consequences of the corruption and cronyism and the other excesses of the zuma regime because we have a change in the a.n.c. the a.n.c. itself has been able to argue that they are now that they need to be given a fresh chance and that they should be allowed to clean up their own mess in the scenes but sadly corruption is one that the state of the economy is always looming
8:29 pm
large the state of personal security crime is always an issue in south africa and of course we have the very emotive issue of land and several parties suggesting that with a legs into power they will be expropriated land without compensation change of the constitution so there's been a lot of issues for voters to consider as they look at these particular elections. in cape town i have been hearing these issues for the last twenty five years every time we've had the south africa elections it's always seems to be the same issue security corruption inequality even land has been discussed but that doesn't seem to be any concrete measures taken. i think grant is right i mean i think the challenge with the facing is that these issues have become fairly institutionalized and of course you know the complexity of the issues is that they have been allowed to deepen in a vague negative way so what is happening today i think when we look at the
8:30 pm
election that's going to mean the election that's going to take place on may eighth is essentially people saying well how much have you quantity qualitatively delivered on these issues if you take the land question for example it's become an exceptionally emotional issue but at the same time there's different reactions to it in terms of what should be the policy implementation what of the a.n.c. and yes they may have greed in a very broad way a brown black expropriation without compensation ideologically they do differ in terms of implementation of that section twenty five of the constitution and of course the proposal that was adopted by the two houses of parliament to take a photo and terms of next going to war that that what you call the revision of the constitution but coming from a convey different interpretations of what happens in the south african context is that when you constantly see how much of the south african coffers the state money that has been utilized in the context of the kinds of issues that they're seeing
8:31 pm
emerge in the sunder commission around money that has been utilized in an unproductive way in terms of how it has advanced particular interest and economic interest and advance particular people in konami. wealth then of course becomes a critical issue i think this come around people are really frustrated because they come go to the polls they think about this very seriously and we know nothing critical parties who made us necessarily believe have not really made accountable to this electorate that they have that they have that if get that has given them the vote so this is a system as well is also about the fact that the policy of. certainty that the way which it has taken place yes i agree because there has been a to drink invoked a kind of reach of a nation in the party but he's also constrained in calling the new by the party let's bring in joseph qian our head he's a commentator on south african affairs
8:32 pm
a political activist and a former columnist for new africa magazine joseph a guest seem to be saying that it is almost a a n c two point a new and c. has been rejuvenated under its new leader and it's not the old. jacob zuma would you agree with that characterization would you think the a.n.c. still has structural problems from welby fall. and to the extent that the n.c. . sort of inherited a massive job that there is i don't know any political organization or political party in the world today that would have probably found the job that the n.c. inherited in south africa in two thousand in one thousand nine hundred four that is it unless they're prepared to be as radical. radical political parties and organizations could be but of course the n.c. opted to take in moderate line that say it really to their credit then c.
8:33 pm
has been large down the best of what they could in terms of force i think i think the jury is rather out i think he's going to win these elections what's going to happen in the next four years will probably determine whether or not this is a new n.c. or not and the reason is that actually unfortunately jacob zuma when he was elected to replace a tumble becky the vast majority of the members of the n.c. and ordinary africans in south africa thought he was probably going to be the main genuine voice for themselves unfortunately in fact. sort of really sunk the ns into the action that now for the house to if you like try to run so to that extent yes it's a different entity by and large you put as a political going to station that stands for that are for.
