JOHANNESBURG - A Johannesburg-based think tank, the Brenthurst Foundation, has predicted that the African National Congress will be stripped of its majority in the 2024 general elections. The foundation also predicted that Democratic Alliance would increase its share of votes, but these predictions don't convince South Africans.

Regardless, the Brenthurts Foundations indicated that the ruling party would probably receive around 47.6% of votes which will be a 10% decrease for the 57.50% majority achieved during the last electios.

The survey also indicated that the DA would receive 24% of votes which is a very slight increase from 20.77%.

According to the survey published by the foundation, the ANC's predicted decline is attributed to participants sentiments that the ruling party is to blame for all the countries problems. In, fact at least 80% of respondents belive the ANC is leading South Africans in the wrong direction.

@hopefulmuntu added:
