grow people who are only says in companies through their employment by the two thousand and nine election with jacob zuma at the hound cracks had emerged. they've been a breakaway from the agency corruption was rife and the hope the liberation movement once inspired was fading for the first time the party lost support at the polls those losses would extend in the twenty fourteen election but cause continued to vote for the a.n.c. i. definitely prefer but no good. things would go this way. and principle is a member it's difficult to for a. long long. we remain loyal to the right we are going to point out the wrong. thing to set up with the a.n.c.

having lost support in the last two consecutive elections watches will be looking to this poll to see if the party will continue with its declines or if its promise of a restored image will be enough vote is good or bad. joining me now from johannesburg south africa is my colleague christine. christine. sure now the report was that we may. see how widespread is that in the party. maybe the whole point of getting into office before jacob zuma even ended was to really reignite voters all supporters of the party who had now thought twice and thought about defecting and not voting for the party the whole idea was to send the message that the party is changing course that it's back on the right direction that new leadership is coming in refreshing leadership that up also has
7:36 pm
a very good record and the idea was that it would reignite supporters who were no longer interested in supporting the a.n.c. and in fact in ways he's case it appears to have worked you told me offline that had come up with the not secure the a.n.c. presidency she would not have voted for the a.n.c. today so it seems to have worked for a lot of people in fact there's a term that was going around in south africa for you to basically try and capture what was his presidency did but of course only the poll results come when stays election would really be telling as to how much that room before he has a real face in terms of translating into support bring back into this party. like you rightly said the party supports the president zuma and is. the man to ten things around and how. eddie a lot of south africans are pinning their hopes on a course that i say a lot of south africans because the majority of this country in the possible actions as we've seen our supporters these people say that i'm opposed to having

a clean record he's a businessman he knows about investment job creation in fact he's one of the wealthiest people in south africa so they think that he's business acumen the connections he's made the fact that he's a leader that has been embraced by the international community having a clean record so christine the second largest opposition party that. is gaining support mainly because he wants to return land to black south africans without compensating whites know what impact you have on the elections and what is the position on the. that argue it's been one of the trump cons of this election greatly and it's one of the reasons why if it has the message that it has resonated with so many young people taking away the young voters from the african national congress you know that in its two thousand and seventeen want to see conference day and see
7:38 pm
a jump to the same policy which is taking that land without compensation people that it's been slow to the neck back so the feeling is that while the a.n.c. since the mrs if that's what they do that's not what it's really going to do they seize been in government twenty five years now the rate at which it's taking it's giving back the land to black south africans is very slow so even though it's part of aids he's going to see a lot of south africans are skeptical about that and see that that has been a big factor in specially the young people who are finding themselves without work here. briefly before you see this election to be the last easy win for the a.n.c. so fast forward what is a stake if more support in this one. if you were talking about a party that's enjoyed the landslide victories at the elections in the last five ten of the last year the fact that it happened in this country and they've been comfortable wins for the african national congress the stakes are high what they see once again is maintained its two thirds majority that is sixty percent of the
7:39 pm
electorate and that is interest at the moment do just about sixty one percent as we speak and so crucial for the agency is to maintain that majority in parliament and that is in jeopardy and this is the most hotly contested election for the agency. and enjoy your time there. is obscene young is the only female paralympic athlete she was the country's flag bearer at the london twenty twelve games goal is to represent the gambia big games in tokyo twenty twenty she. takes on basketball all of these without any financial support within the wheelchair basketball team she is the only woman fart that is often from up on by this aside talk with stretch of the majority muslim guy but the single mom of two keeps pushing the boundaries to show that disabled people can. he said two nyang is the
