ALMOST a third of likely South African voters canvassed in a new opinion poll said they hadn’t decided who to support in next week’s elections or refused to disclose a preference, creating uncertainty over the expected outcome.
While a series of previous surveys indicate that the ruling African National Congress will lose its majority for the first time since taking power in 1994, they largely omitted undecided respondents.
That means the predictions could be unreliable, Afrobarometer, a well known pan-African survey group, said Wednesday after conducting its own telephonic poll of 1 800 South Africans. – Reuters
