Abstract
There was never any doubt that the ANC would win the 2004 election by a large margin. However, argues Southall it is the nature and extent of the victory which has confounded and astounded analysts and observers. He offers a number of explanations for the unexpected triumph of the ANC, including the form and content of its campaign, and the weak and fluid dynamics of the opposition.-
