A survey has revealed that one in four young South Africans would vote for expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema.
Shirley Wakefield, of consumer insights company Pondering Panda, says its clear that a significant number of young people are dissatisfied with the ANC and would turn to Julius Malema as an alternative if he created a new political party.
The survey polled 3 585 young people aged between 18 and 34 across South Africa.
According to the poll, 35% said they would vote for the ANC, 26% for Malema’s party, and 15% for the Democratic Alliance. Fourteen percent said they would stay away from the polls.
Malema announced earlier this month that he was launching the political platform, Economic Freedom Fighters, to shift the approach to the country's problems from "reconciliation" to "justice".
