Jacob Zuma still people’s favourite choice of leader

--:--

Cyril Ramaphosa, Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema, Mmusi Maimane, Helen Zille and John Steenhuisen rank as the top politicians in the country, according to a recent polling.
The IRR says President Ramaphosa and EFF leader Malema are the only politicians doing well and who could grow their support even more.
According to the Institute of Race Relations’ survey, the ANC is polling at 46.5%, followed by the DA at 26.1%, EFF at 11.6% and IFP at 9.4%.
The ANC would resort to undemocratic means in an attempt to continue to govern if they were to lose the 2024 elections, the opinion poll suggested.
Many poll participants (28.8%) cited not trusting any political party as their reason for not voting. Fifteen percent said they cannot get to the voting station, another 15% found politics distasteful.
