economic freedom fighters for the ruling party i mean are we talking about. a spoiler here in this election. but brant if if is arguably the reason why we are calling this election the most contested election in the years post a party if it has really changed the game here it's also the reason the a.n.c. has been running on its heels essentially julius malema as message of taking back lead from the white minority and giving it back to black south africans has resonated with a lot of poor black south africans who really have had no comfort from the a.n.c. all they've seen is a government that is full of corrupt officials people mismanaging state funds only a few benefiting and so when julius malema goes out and speaks of message to people who are desperate to have been waiting to hear broken promises from the african national congress you can imagine this is the only party by the way that's for costa to grow in supports the a.n.c. and of course to decipher his biggest opposition party the democratic alliance they're both expected to support so right now that i

twenty five years of governance it should be fairly easy for the democratic alliance or the economic freedom fighters to capitalize on that but the fact of the matter is is there's no poll that gives the democratic alliance the largest opposition party anything above twenty two percent and the economic freedom fighters got a million votes last election which was about a six percent of the electorate and they're due to about double that so even in the face of all of these issues the a.n.c. is still going to all intents and purposes all the polls are showing us going to win this election moreover when you look at. performance in the past year or so since he deposed president jacob zuma came to many are nobody actually predicted he would be able to do so it's been slow incremental change and while ms miller is correct in saying that there hasn't been enough change for you to do tangibly feel a change in the world's most unequal society you can't discount the small fundamentals that have been put in place and i'm specifically talking about the national prosecuting authority this is a new attorney general

steadily increasing vote for about the last ten years of economic freedom fighters which was founded six years ago by former politicians who were pushed out of the a n c they've risen quite rapidly they got about six percent of the vote last time they used their seats in parliament to disrupt proceedings to criticize the a.n.c. for corruption to service delivery and they've really changed the course of south african politics the votes are going into the ballot boxes that have been in the coming days we're going to find out. what kind of these opposition parties the ruling and see this is going to get ok malcolm with an update from john is worth thank you. blas that a popular shrine in eastern pakistan has killed at least eight people including five police officers several others are reported to be injured after the explosion at one of the country's oldest shrines the diet's had darbar shrine has been targeted before a suicide attack in twenty ten killed more than forty people let's speak to him i did i should he's a central asia security analyst is joining us now from lahore via skyp

compensation and one of those calling for such reform is julius malema the leader of the far left economic freedom fighters fighters or party malema has previously been convicted of hate speech and inciting violence against the country's white minority and expelled from the incumbent and see for sowing a racial division this is back in two thousand and twelve but he has been back in the spotlight in recent months with some fiery rhetoric. white people you will marry me i'll let you know we are godly to a seat and do you know what. does. that do you know. how the spirit. has. come out. why we don't care now. why not now. why don't you know what time i'm saying to you we're not called for the killing of white people at least for now to the future all right malema has come under fire for stoking racial tensions during his campaign garden again went on to tell us the candidates charged slogans come close to crossing the line so this man of course speaks a very nonracial line on the one hand but he makes no bones about the fact that he's there to serve the black masses the black this and franchise masses and i

democratic alliance despite a strong fight is expected to fall well short while the far left economic freedom fighters are expected to double their vote since the last election the thoughts of the co-founder of the champion south africa movement who predicts indeed the incumbent president will be given a second chance here. it could well be the first time the ruling. party this one every election since one thousand nine hundred four may well lose hold of the election that means either get below fifty and be voted out of power or get very close to that and have to form a coalition with another party to stay in power so that is the is the key significant point if the former president of the a.n.c. or the government of south africa president zuma at the time were still in power i would actually tell you now i'm almost certain they see both would fall below fifty percent we've had now the deputy former deputy president sort of a poser as the president he was the choice ironically of nelson mandela to be the person of the country all those years ago there's a sense that people are going to give him a chanc

that everyone expects to see gains in these elections is the third horse in the race the economic freedom fighters the jury is really out on what the da the the second opposition party to the largest party in opposition will do in these elections some of the polls suggest that it may flats or some of them suggest that it may decline somewhat but really all of the talk and all of the focus on growth in the political landscape is on the part of the economic freedom fought for in fact is led by julius malema who is a very charismatic individual of course he comes out of the a.n.c. he was a former president of the youth league there before he was expelled from the party and formed the formation and so you know a lot of the energy rather focus on issues has really come from the fifth they've managed to really almost upstaged the da in many respects in this campaign period and yet numerically there remains a really dark horse to make any meaningful gains numerically within the landscape so we set a very very interesting position here with the a.n.c. is declining the second opposition party the da may or

the opposition economic freedom fighters doesn't it he was pushed out of the a.n.c. about six years ago his posse is rapidly risen have a since the last election five years ago they went to the seats in parliament. to disrupt proceedings and change the course of south african politics criticizing the city for corruption promising to nationalize south africa's four. hundred five for this is a silly law sort of alone time but for the first opponents an awful potence what then under the civil servants i don't really know who the just on duty right now we are saying this it would never come back. south africa's largest opposition party the democratic alliance held its final rally on saturday the last fall of unsound just over a piece of the seats. as has been steadily but slowly increasing but in spite of they had a growing criticisms as. see disenfranchisement among many of its supporters are still many more who are strictly loyal and the ability in polls suggest to many south africans believe come wednesday's poll the a.n.c. will keep its majority with a smaller margin

calling for such reform is julius malema let's talk about him he's the leader of the far left economic freedom fighters party or f.-f. malema has previously been convicted of hate speech and inciting violence against the country's white minority he was also expelled from the income with a n c for selling racial division back in twenty twelve but he's been brought back in the spotlight again in recent months with some fiery rhetoric. you will remember. oh we are currently. do you know what. does. that do you know. why this occurred to. me if i have. why i really want to know. why not. why don't. you i'm saying to you we're not called for the killing of white people at least for now. the future. but i was also come under fire first stoking racial tensions or his campaign to shove god there again says the candidates charged slogans are crossing a line. of course speaks of very non racial lines on the one hand but he makes no bones about the fact that he is there to serve the black masses the black this and french ice masses that i think that's absolutely understandable but he feels very close to the wind

the economic freedom fighters are very popular in south africa.hey control most of the university campuses. a lot of young, urban, black, intelligent voters are voting for them because they see it as the only alternative to the anc. so, they are still sort of feeling they are for values their parents fought for. but it is between parents and the next generation. brent: and you see the eff growing in popularity and political power? anli: yes. we are all watching whether they are going to double the votes in the election. definitely in the next election they will be the biggest challenge to the ruling party. brent: anli serfontein, as always we appreciate your time and your insights. anli: thank you very much. brent: we go now to pakistan, and asia bibi, the christian woman who spent years on death row on a blast may has left the country. according to lawyers she is now in canada where two of her daughters are thought to have been granted asylum. for bibi it starts her new life far from the islamist hard-liners in pakistan who wanted her dead. repor

well i didn't hear that the latter part but i got the point about the shift ok the the economic freedom fighters there's been a massive success story in the last five years five years old six percent in their first election they expected to get nothing less than ten percent and perhaps as much as fifteen percent in this election either way they they are clearly positioned to be a kingmaker if the a.n.c. triples in any way so or other troops in any way so kingmaker is where they want to be the stance has been effectively to try and fight the economic struggle that the a.n.c. did not fight all these years having given all of us freedom the a.n.c. i mean this is that the narrative the a.n.c. fall fell short in reforming the country economically and if it's coming to that position and say we will deliver that for you and that is why well economically of fighters there is that all these of the these. into the messes that we will do that whether they really will do so or whether the policies are just wild rhetoric remains to be seen many people are rather skeptical of that and the rhetoric is the poin

could well be leftist leader julius malema of the economic freedom fighters he's pushed for a redistribution of prime agricultural land much of which is owned by the white minority. and now president ram a poster of the a.n.c. has jumped on that bandwagon himself wanting to accelerate that redistribution and the hope of luring votes away from a layman. the results of the election are expected by saturday. well i'm joined now here the big table by south african journalist author and filmmaker on the surface jean a familiar face to our viewers here she talks with us every time we're talking about south africa and its elections it's good to see you again you're you're following these elections closely what results are you expecting well it's a bit early to to expect that the a.n.c. will probably get between fifty five and sixty percent of the vote and they will be in power for another five years. i think the difficulty is with a several from a pause after these elections take control of the mc because it's not completely in control of things and party and with the you will then stamp out corrup

with white farmers holding the vast majority of private farmland julius malema from the economic freedom fighters was one of those pushing for that reform with some fiery rhetoric against the country's white community. well to pull you will. let you know we are godly to a seat do you know what. does. that . mean what are these codes. i mean if one has. to say. why we don't care. why not. why don't you know the time i'm saying to you we're not called for the killing of white people at least for now back to the future. for some insight into all of this we're joined by howard feldman a political analyst howard thanks for coming on to the program now let's start off with the biggest in the a and things majority being cut. right so see has been taught a little bit of a listen the last round about 19 seats which obviously will impact on them and one of the main reasons one of the main reasons for that is the the level of corruption that the a n c has experienced or as a whole has enjoyed over the last number of years with president jacob zuma at the helm i mean despite the presence several around the f

in this election the only party that really full cost to see gaining more support is the economic freedom fighters they have taken a large bulk of young voters young people are those supporters you go to and if really you look around it's largely young people that miss a job taking back land without recompensation white people for example has resonated with a lot of youngsters in south africa who are living in poverty and so julius malema struck a chord with a lot of people here and is the result that is the party that many people see growing as opposed to the agency of the da which will probably lose support as what some people are predicting here. chris and when we're in johannesburg covering the south african election for the w. thank you very much. now kristie in africa and stan yes it's a jihadist group launched its insurgency in nigeria since then tens of thousands of people have been killed and the united nations refugee agency says more than two million have been displaced our correspondent funny for chalk traveled to borno state in nigeria's north east in the state's capital my the she me

the opposition economic freedom fighters doesn't it great he was pushed out of the sea about six years ago his posses rapidly risen ever since the last election. for the state's involvement to see to disrupt proceedings and change the course of salopek of politics. and see the corruption promising to nationalize south africa's. hundreds of this is going to say loss is one of alone time for the big fellow opponents and also putting them under a little different last reason to do so just on duty right now we are saying this will 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 despite she. has been steadily butt.

such as we see a main main from the democratic alliance party and julius malema from the economic freedom fighters have also cast their votes. on. this. is just this. that. they are doing it and you do. your big. you. surround poser speaking there well let's take a look at south africa's three main parties the governing african national congress is led by presidents are on pows and he's a former trade unionist turned businessman he promised to crack down on corruption and improve the stagnant economy the opposition democratic alliance party has its first black leader musi the main. polls suggest that it may be losing ground amongst its wealthier support base so enter the economic freedom fighters led by julius malema now they won six percent of the vote in twenty fourteen and it's the third largest party in parliament its policies include nationalizing mines and taking land without compensation to give back to the poor for me to miller is following the election forests in the cape town of course cape town on the eastern cape for me to opposition strongholds and given the complaints against the rul

way through it has to be gradual interesting what about the opposition parties the da the economic freedom fighters how successful have they been in getting their point across to voters. i think we've got a similar position party that there's been very dominant when it comes to get into a point of course it is actually they couldn't fight us which started showing up in south africa selection back in twenty four did they have been very helpful and the challenge that the da is confronted with now they've got very internal problems and their projections are they d. a mild to moderate growth significantly and because they've been growing election one election in the previous election it appears but if it seems to be the one that would most likely butyl wadded in the selection and i think that could actually mean the da if they don't perform full well in this election they would have to go back to the drawing board and rethink about their style awful position but it could also mean if the if performed very well in this election it might as well be on the way to exit even more influence on south africa's

economic freedom fighters led by julius malema won six percent of the vote in twenty fourteen and as the third largest party in parliament its plans include nationalizing mines and taking land without compensation to give to the poor while opposition parties say they expect to gain because the a.n.c. has failed to deliver on its promises to grow the economy and create jobs fundamental reports now from cape town south africa's governing african national congress says it's confident it will win its six democratic national election and it's likely to pull that's despite internal splits factionalism the resignation of a president and a swarm of corruption allegations that stated the party. out of this election is to lead up the process of growing our economy on an inclusive braces so that we can address the why and the needs of poor people in our country the money we are getting here is we must have service delivery at auburn. i don't want any further excuses i just want us to we're almost a third of south africans are unemployed and the economy is in decline the a.n.c. is competing agai

an election that is a lot of focus on opposition parties not only yourselves but also the economic freedom fighters what does the rise of these opposition parties in the growth mean for one like you as it's been established as the dawn of democracy but i think first of all it's great that when people talk about the parties in south africa talk about the big three survey so at least we moving to wards a democracy that has some choice but still you know we've got so many parties that actually never get any seat at all in parliament and hopefully we move to a space you want to have an open free democracy but of course it is also concerning for us that every time these sort of little parties go to nibble away you know we need to end up with four or five parties that really start to focus on democracy and so if you're twenty five years into democracy and i think one single party returning it for twenty five years and you start to see that whittle away but you know that's where we as political parties have to start to find our own space and that has been tough this is the slow. all right ellen thank you
