It’s been dubbed the most critical election in our history as the governing party’s hold on the electorate continues to slip. It's a make-or-break poll for those in power and those jostling for it as changes to the ballot papers and the introduction of independent candidates come into effect. Voters will need to keep their wits about them as they gear up to make their mark. But what does the future hold for an electorate yearning for change? This Sunday, Carte Blanche examines the politics of promises and power as we build towards the highly anticipated national elections.

Im 27 , about 85 to 90% of everyone I know from high school and now going to professional industries has immigrated within the last 5 years either to AUS , USA, CAD or to the UK . I am in the works to do the same. We refuse to suffer and fix what we did not break .
I cannot see myself safely raising a family here or building my wealth. Its sad because I love south African culture and this country used to be something special, but my generation just simply will not ever trust the politics of ANC ever again . The damage has been done. I have no hope left .
You mean Emigrated
If you can and your friends can, vote from where ever you're staying to help us here
Most of us don't have money to just leave. Plus we are leaving our people behind if we go.
It's not an option to stay anymore.
Never to be fixed it’s so badly broken 😢 get out and enjoy a safe life in a civilized country!
ive registered online a while ago and for the very first time heading to the polls to cast my vote. it's not secret that i will be trying to VOTE OUT the anc , hopefully im not the only one that wants that!
Carte Blanche ❤ You guys are the BEST current affairs platform!
Great work Team
There should not be more than 5 parties, and the voter vote for the one closest to his/her expectations. All the 300 "parties" only weaken the outcome.
At the national level I'd agree (maybe 8 rather than 5?), but if none of the big 5 address your community's issues, there should be space for local parties to fill the void. A really successful local party will then have a clear path to becoming one of the big 5.
350 political parties is just way too much for a young democracy like South Africa. It points to the failure of the ruling party and main opposition parties.
There should be a watchdog that overseas how much of a Manifesto has been accomplished for parties in power.
democracy, but with accountability..?
We can't have such luxuries here, gotta let the people eat at the trough and expecting them to deliver on their promises will really interrupt their meal...
Especially sorros and the NWO and WEF cartel
I'm voting for competent leaders💙
Who are they?
The blues
we really need an observer I don't trust the ANC
The Americans argue over their election results EVERY time. We never do. You and the DA are both idiots.
This was a well produced piece!
Yeah, its next level actually
Please vote, and don't forget, Who broke the lights? ANC; Who broke the water? ANC; Who broke the refuse collection? ANC!
I am so impressed with Carte Blanche’s production team! You guys are creating such interesting content and enjoyable to watch! Well done Carte Blanche for making news enjoyable for all!
I will be giving my Vote to the DA. Dilution with parties is just a game. I do not understand how that can help anything.
The only party that will be able to save South Africa, is the DA.
What i really don't understand is... How can they make these promises and not keep it? Why don't we have a system that keeps them accountable?
Why don't they have any accountability?? Why don't we change that??
We need to save SA... Please people please ... Vote DA
ActionSA have my vote
How is it possible that a non South African can give millions of Rands to the DA……..
What does he receive in return……??
None of this will make any difference. This place is doomed. Im voting with my feet. My family has made great sacrifices to move abroad. I will be joining them soon. Sitting in darkness watching this. The sooner you realize no government will save you and that its up to you to build the life you want the better. Go where you are treated best.
I think that when a party is registered there needs to be rules set to ensure parties are doing their manifesto atleast 5 yrs before the actual elections. And start implementing accountability via service KPIs for all Gov related departments I think there would be start to a little change in how things are done.
Vote for the ANC is voting for more suffering they have proven now for 30 years they are not capable to run a country
It may sound very sad but I just cant not wait for Load Shed Top Level 13 to 16 to 20, my reason I say this is these will be the times when South Africa will become so innovative in powering this beautiful country all by themselves and that will be decentralized power on steroids like never seen in the world and that is will be the dream of Nicola Tesla becoming real power to the people literally.
Why can't they digitalize the whole thing to avoid papers dumped in a river!
Double edged sword, no ? Digital is not immune to fraud. In fact in some instances it only increases the attack surface area.
Surely we can guard the system against attack. Get the best in tech security?
@@ThabisoRatlou That certainly goes without saying but when we talking about an electoral process going online - as I alluded to - the surface area of attack increases. Anyone with interest and the capability including other Nation States could invlove themselves in ways that they already don't by affecting said system.
@@Naidy11 we can use the bank look-like type of system. It's not 100% but secure enough to accept the outcome.
@@ThabisoRatlou I agree.
Democracy is based on the false assumption that you have a choice.
Thats a tough pill to swallow, but i do believe theres also some choices we need to make as people... Like stop drinking, smoking and getting help to get over what ails our society. Not waiting for help, but coming together and making it happen.
Right, as if the real owners of this country (the billionaires) will let the poor vote their influence away

Action sa 💚💚💚
It's going to be an interesting one this year. For the first time in forever we can see that there's no ideal percentage of a specific party that is sure to win. I'm saying EFF or DA. ANC has been showing us that they arent capable enough.
Vote UIM. I AM tired of race politics, racist parties like the ANC and EFF. I just want us to move forward united.
More people need to see these guy's presentations, especially the youth
GO OHM!!!!
We’ve seen a rise in the number of independents in Australia. There have been a number of upsets in seats traditionally held by the major parties and its forced those major parties not to take safe seats for granted.
Far too many political parties. It is absolutely laughable. (If it wasn't so tragic. This country is moving further and further away from unity.)
Done by design
I'm most definitely voting for the DA 💙💙💙🇿🇦 only they can rescue South Africa from 30 years of corruption, inequality, poverty, load shedding etc.
🤢🤮
Vote out the ANC 🥱
Too many political parties dilute the political landscape and they make coalitions and absolute nightmare.
And it's more of an individual bussiness than serving the will of the people.
Yes, exactly... And the chance of defeating the ANC is much less...
I know that the best party to vote for will be the Organic Humanity Movement.
😂
Vote ActionSA 💚, BOSA, Rise Mzansi or DA! 🎉😊
The power is in the hands of voter.
IEC is captured.
DA for me
Imagine voting for NP lite
How are they the NP lite? People call them the ANC lite.@@abutilesego2u59
Must we make a cross or a tick in the ballot box?
😂😂😂
All my friends have left the country. I'm only here because I'm stuck with family who need my help. I really want to leave this continent. Just waiting a little longer.
Vote for a party that will implement system change ! We need complete system change … NOBODY can fix SA under the current system. Vote OHM for complete system change. That’s their only goal and only promise 🤍
I prefer the German system of governance, but the French have one very interesting procedure they do that I think can really impact our system.
They vote 2 times. The first round is normal, you vote for whoever you want, from that they decide how many seats get allocated to which party, etc. BUT, the second vote is for the ruling party. The top 2 parties are the only options you can vote for then.
That would be an interesting idea to counter the issue we have of a super majority ruling party.
UNITED INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT IS GOING PLACES!
Only people who pay tax should be allowed to vote because we are carrying the country.
It's ridiculous to have so many parties, each one with their promises.
People in power need to be there to serve, not to benefit as we've seen from the current government.
If Greed and bigotry could end, we can become a 1st world country without a doubt. The only issue is finding proper ethical leadership, and the rest is smooth sailing.
we polishing the floors on a sinking ship. Any party unable to secure a single seat in e.g. two election cycles should be deregistered. No seats mean your actions and policies affect no one and your party is irrelevant. You should be deregistered and unable to re-register under the same name for e.g. 5 years.
"It's not gna suddenly start raining houses and geysers and refrigirators"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True😂😂😂😂😂😂
Viva EFF ❤❤❤❤✊✊✊
Waiting for Chief Mogoeng Mogoeng ❤️🇿🇦
Voting DA is the lesser of all evils. But I only do so for lack of a better choice. Ultimately I will be leaving this country in the next 3 years. Won't waste my best years being taxed into oblivion to prop up the masses who have been made dependant on the state by design.
Coward
we all know anc will rig it
I can feel a big confusion coming on ! By design ? Monty Python where are you when we need you ?
Wow 300plus parties...everyone wants to be the king to eat but no one wants to do their job..what a waste of time. This will just cause more confusion to most of the voters.
Why we useig paper not tablets we need to go forward
@citizenconcerned please add your wise words
There should be one ballot paper period
Wait wait wait so do we vote for both a party and an independent for national government???
Allowing many parties will allow for people to squander votes on parties that have no ability or power . This technique is called muddying the water , it is a tactic used to diffuse opposition impact . If you want change , everyone needs to vote as a block , if you do not you will just have more of the same .
350 political parties, the message is almost the same 😂
R250K to start a party 😂 That's business happening there!
Democracy on paper is fine. The issue is those who corrupt the ideals. But for far too long, the do-gooders haven't had the gumption to deal with them effectively
Vote Action SA
Interviewing the wrong sample of people. What about the vast majority living in poverty/townships. What do they think?
I am voting the MK
The war party.
Backed by Jacob Zuma? Then I might as well vote for the EFF🤦
My concern is when do IEC plan to move away from ballot papers and digitilise our voting system? How can you trust those people counting the ballots ?
How can you trust anything 😢
Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. A. Einstein
We are all voting for EFF
Cambridge Analytica... We vote for whom we are programmed to vote for.
Hawu thina kuthiwe siyobalanda sibafake ngaphandle kokuhlaba
Another "elekshion"
Same nonsense.
Let the squabbling start...
Powersshare is never peaceful
My ANC vote is my secret 💛
🚮 Banana Republic. Nothing can help South Africa.
It's all just a hoax, just another way to steal money.
Rigged!!?
THE EFF SAYS 9 MILLION JOBS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. South Africans should just realised the party is a joke
Vote counting will take for ever 🙄🙄🙄
I will vote for the party that stays away from the woke ideologies, put family first. Job creation and food security is important.
Woke? You are not South African get out of this comment section.
@yammoto148 52 years old South African born. Living in SA! Matter of opinion I guess
@@yammoto148 🤣
@@Vickeydup Matter of opinion? Buddy there is no such thing as woke in the country, we aren't like America where we divide our politics between left and right.
@@Vickeydup Plus you know Traditional people here still think liking the same gender is a disease and nobody is passing policy on that so you have nothing to worry about.
I am pretty sure you can still legally kick your kids out if they happen to like someone like that. It would make you a terrible person but hey you have your freedoms don't you?
Better go with the devil you know trust me
Eish...
So ANC?
Viva ANC Viva 💚💛🖤
He's a nut his crazy in the coconut 😮
Eish...
Imagine😂
Big loadshedding, no water in JHB for 9 days.
Vote ANC, they'll give you that free house and even more free elec and water...this time, I promise!
Climate change lol.... Oh no!!! The sky is falling!!! And another thing - the electorate is FORCED TO give the idiots in parliament another chance. What exactly is our alternative?
