The ANC will lose its two-thirds majority after the April 22 general election according to the results of a poll, the SABC reported on Thursday."The ANC got rounded off to 61 percent nationally. The ANC has lost the two-thirds majority that it achieved in 1999," said Plus 94 CEO Sifiso Falala.
"The ANC has achieved its worst performance since 1994," he said.
Falala said the Democratic Alliance had raised its tally to 16 percent of the national vote.
"The DA has grown rapidly to reach a peak since '94. This is the highest it has ever done at national level.
"Cope made a big entrance at 15 percent. This is a party that hardly four or three weeks ago hardly had a leader who appeared on ballot papers," said Falala.
The poll was conducted by interviewing 3500 South African voters.
