TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS
The data indicates that strong majorities of ANC and black nationalist party supporters agree with the statement that Russia and China make a greater economic contribution to South Africa than do Western liberal democracies. Opinion amongst DA and minority voters splits very much more evenly and on the question of economic contribution even DA opinion now splits in favour of Russia and China, although, this is via a plurality and not an absolute majority.
