Rule Breakers: How the 2024 election campaign changed South Africa forever – Hermann Pretorius

The 2024 elections reshaped South Africas politics and the powers that impact the lives of every South African. The once invincible ANC lost its majority and teamed up with its fiercest opponent to form a government. How and why did the ANC lose its majority? What did MK do to secure its phenomenal result? What strategies and tactics did parties pursue to get a foot in the door? What worked and what didnt? And did the DA betray its voters by keeping the ANC in government? The author gives a blow-by-blow account of the campaigning ahead of the 2024 elections and explains the meteoric rise of Gayton McKenzies Patriotic Alliance, what caused the well-funded Rise Mzansi campaign to fizzle, and why Julius Malemas EFF got stuck below 10% support.
