I'm not really sure what your asking. For the very near future, I highly doubt a party can outseat the ANC. The DA's' shortcomming is that its insistance not not including black Africans in its leadership structure. The PAC really has nothing to offer. There is the Independent Democrat with PAtricia Delille (sp?). But that is more of a personality party, however, I think that party has the potential to be official opposition, if it can move away from personality based party into platform base. The Freedom Front is pretty much an AFrikaner based party that is seeing its support dwindling as more Afrikaners are moving into the ANC. One of the high official of hte ANC Youth League is a Boer farmer. You would have never herd of that during the apartheid era.
The IFP is loosing support from its based support, the Zulus. It made one mistake that the ANC succeeded, that is financing.
Is that what your looking at?
