led by several. kind of reverse the downward trend. that's what one supporter who takes stock of the last twenty five yes. now cemented a bridge in johannesburg. in c.e. lection ben is crowd the overpass symbolic of the party's dominant support base in this region. because there is an a.n.c. supporter who are outside the clinic it's a way to wish you voted in the one thousand nine hundred four election she still has vivid memories of that day the excitement was such that you didn't care whether it is long but you just wanted to be seen to be that there were cameras around all wanted to be seen in the cameras to. make a mark to say that we are doing it in the five years that would follow it would be the a.n.c. led by nelson mandela ruling a democratic south africa. outside his hold in so we're told now it to receive

traction. because of recalls how the lives of black south africans changing. them and then let you are trying to project a whole lot of excitement for me as an individual it and probably assisted me in changing professions i had been and mess and elected to in this and for quite a long time and opportunities that are out there gave me a moment to move from the public sector to join the corporate investor. the successes would continue after mandela the first election post his presidency the a.n.c. had a strong showing at the polls yes a strong black middle class was emerging that means many black south africans like calls were able to move from townships next whittle to suburbs in two thousand and four which was during and tell me. we will have these they grow people who are only says in companies through their employment by the two

thousand and nine election with jacob zuma at the how much cracks had emerged. they've been a breakaway from the a.n.c. corruption was rife and the whole the liberation movement once inspired was fading for the first time the party lost support at the polls those forces would extend in the twenty fourteen election but because a continued to vote for the a.n.c. i didn't support him i was definitely behind him but nobody. would go this way. and principle is a member it's difficult. 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. back both is good or bad. joining me now from johannesburg south africa is my colleague christine. christine nice to see you for sure now some reports that we may. see how widespread is that in the party. maybe the whole point of getting into office before jacob's term 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 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 case that appears to have worked you told me offline that had i'm opposed to not secure the 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 phoria to basically try and capture what was his presidency did but of course only the poll results come when states election would really be telling as to how much the drama for you 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 turn things around and how. maybe a lot of south africans are pinning their hopes on that i say a lot of south africans because the majority of this country in the possible actions as we've seen are a.n.c. supporters these people say that i'm of course 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 the second largest opposition party that. is gaining support mainly because he wants to return to blacks. whites gun owners know what impact the issue have on the elections and what is the position on the. like that ugh it's been one of the trump cons of this election greatly and it's one of the reasons why the f.a.a. has the message that it has resonated with so many young people taking away the young voters from the african national congress now but i have you know that in its two thousand and seventeen policy conference the agency had jobs it is the same policy which is not taking back land without compensation people that it's been

slow to the next that so the feeling is that while the agency since the misses that that's what it would do that's not what it's really going to do they insist been done in twenty five years now the rate at which it's taking it's giving back the lands to black south africans is fierce so even though it's part of the eighty's policy and honestly if it's a skeptical about the a.n.c. but that has been a big factor especially for 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 stick if more support on this one. if you we're talking about a. landslide victories at the elections in the last five ten of the last fact that have happened in this country and they've been comfortable wins with the african national congress the stakes are high but they maintain its two thirds majority that is sixty percent of the electorate and that is it raised at the moment they're 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 aids. he is the only female paralympic athlete she was the country's. twenty twelve games. to represent the. games in tokyo twenty twenty. six on basketball all of these without any financial support within the team she is the only woman fucked. by the restrictions of the. but the single mom of two keeps pushing the boundaries she's sure that disabled people can. isa to nyang is to gambia is only female paralympic athlete she was born with an impairment and both her legs four times
