{{The ruling African National Congress will win the elections in May and achieve two-thirds in the Parliament of South Africa, showed an opinion poll yesterday.}}
According to the survey carried out by the Sunday Times newspaper and Ipsos agency, the historic party of Nelson Mandela will receive 66,1% of the votes, while the main opposition party, Democratic Alliance will reach 22,9%.
The newly-founded and controversial radical leftist political party Economic Freedom Fighters, led by Julius Malema is shown in third place with 3,7% of voters’ intention.
Most of those surveyed said that the Nkandla case (a probe on state money used in the residence of president Jacob Zuma) was not an issue directly related to ANC, founded as a political organisation in 1912.
In the public poll 3 500 voters were surveyed by Ipsos and Sunday Times in the nine provinces.
