The Button That Saved the ANC

Rob Rose and Zukile Majova cannot agree on the Constitutional Court's ruling that lets the ANC register the candidates it failed to submit.
Rob says rules are rules, and the ANC missed its own deadline by not pressing submit. Zuks says punishing the party means punishing voters, especially in the Eastern Cape, where people could lose the party they have backed for 30 years. They also ask whether the ruling has saved Fikile Mbalula's career, and who takes the blame if the ANC does badly in November.
In the first half of the show, they speak to Dr Elsa Thirion Venter from MarkData about the new poll with eNCA. It puts the DA on 35% and the ANC on 21.8% in Joburg. Dr Elsa explains how the poll was done, why so many voters are still undecided, and what people really want from their next mayor.
