We shall never go back to Pharaoh: defending democracy in the Eastern Cape

Cherry explore three sets of dynamics in the E. Cape elections : the battle between the UDM and ANC for Umtata; the shift towards the DA and ID from white and coloured voters; and the stability of the urban African vote, represented by Kwazakele. Arguably the most interesting exploration is of ANC voters' stalwart support of the Party, articulated in their own words.

Abstract

Cherry explore three sets of dynamics in the E. Cape elections : the battle between the UDM and ANC for Umtata; the shift towards the DA and ID from white and coloured voters; and the stability of the urban African vote, represented by Kwazakele. Arguably the most interesting exploration is of ANC voters' stalwart support of the Party, articulated in their own words.
