In short, the 1999 election further consolidated both the institutions and culture of liberal democracy. Importantly, this consolidation was predicated in an understanding reached between the IFP and ANC that, whatever the outcome of the election, they would co‐operate in government at both national level and in KwaZulu‐Natal. In so doing, the stakes of the election were lowered, making a free and fair election not just more affordable but also desirable so as to legitimate future governance. This deal is further confirmation of the trend in KwaZulu‐Natal politics away from the ethnically couched confrontational styles of the transition years towards a more ideologically inclusive and co‐operative politics. This trend, along with the basic patterns of party affiliation, suggest that KwaZulu‐...","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"84 1","pages":"145-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89854029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In one of the poorest provinces, which incorporated the former homelands of Ciskei and Transkei, the ANC provincial government had been faced by challenges which threatened to erode its base amongst its traditional constituency. The UDM sought to exploit these discontents by cultivating the chiefs and the former Transkeian elite. The ANC responded by its own battle for the chiefs and by deploying national leaders to campaign in Transkei. Even if the UDM fails to develop a national appeal, it may remain an important player in the Eastern Cape.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"155-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74699581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article challenges this assumption through a disaggregation of the election results. It illustrates an electoral heterogeneity within these communities with various classes voting in different ways. Moreover, the article demonstrates that lower income coloured and indian people were more reluctant to vote for the ANC while the more privileged sectors threw in their lot with the ruling party. It concludes that this is largely the result of the simultaneous application of an affirmative action policy with a neo‐liberal economic programme; the results of which enhance the material vulnerability of the poorest sectors of the indian and coloured communities.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"189-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88591533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most voters lived in close proximity to a voting station and were able to reach it on foot. Although lengthy queues delayed voting at some voting stations, one in two voters waited for less than 30 minutes before voting. Less than 2 per cent indicated that they had been under pressure to vote for a particular party. These positive perceptions, together with the relatively high percentage poll, signal a high degree of national consensus across racial and party political divides about the legitimacy of the election process in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"225-234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84954982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The popularity of its leaders—Bantu Holomisa and Roelf Meyer—promised to give the party a significant support base. In the June 1999 election the UDM obtained 3.42 per cent of the national vote. In less than two years of its existence, and despite financial difficulties and lack of a national profile in the period leading up to the election, it managed to become the fifth biggest party. This article argues, however, that the UDM is unlikely to feature prominently beyond the next election. Its support base is regionally concentrated and is built on short‐term interests that the ruling party has started to address.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"179-188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80122301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast to prevailing theories that have characterized voter choice in South Africa as an ethnic or racial census, this approach emphasizes the role of how voters learn about government performance and the alternatives offered by opposition parties. We then deduce a very simplified model that consciously excludes all ‘structural’ variables and includes only measures of voter evaluations of government performance and views of political parties and candidates. We use discriminant analysis (DA) to predict the partisan preferences of respondents from a nationally representative September 1998 survey with these measures. We find that the partisan choices of a very large majority of South Africans can be correctly predicted with this model.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"235-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82274082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
