Julius Malema: EFF Surges to 27% in Buffalo City Ipsos Poll

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have seen a significant surge in support in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, according to the latest Ipsos poll ahead of the 4 November 2026 local government elections.

Party leader Julius Malema expressed confidence in the party’s growth, noting that the shift in voter sentiment reflects a growing desire for radical change in the region.

The people of Buffalo City are tired of the status quo and are looking to the EFF to provide the service delivery and economic transformation they have been denied for decades.

The poll indicates that the EFF has reached 27% support in the metro, positioning the party as a major contender against the incumbent African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) as the election date approaches.
