Page 5 of 58 Editorial commentGet outthe vote!Jft o we're finally going to be- able to vote. And although itmay take another year, it isimportant that those of uswho are committed to democracyprepare NOW for a decisive electionvictory.You might think it's a little pre-mature to be talking about electionswhen there are still so many issuesto resolve around the negotiatingtable.But we have two very valid reasons for focussing NOW on the elections that lieahead: Regardless of who wins, South Africa cannot afforda narrow election victory. A hung parliament would bedisastrous.If a new government is to address the expecta-tions of the people, it must have the mandate to moveswiftly and boldly. It must be able to act, secure in theknowledge that it has the support of a substantialmajority.That's why this edition of WIP looks critically atthe challenges facing the left - in particular, the ANC- as we move towards election day. Because webelieve it is vital that the pro-democracy movementidentifies the obstacles that lie ahead, so that victoryis not only certain - it is decisive. But perhaps the most importantaspect of the election is that ALLSouth Africans participate. It's notjust about who wins - it's about thefact that everyone who is eligible tovote, does so.And therein lies the challenge:To ensure that every adult SouthAfrican is able to get to the polls,feels safe enough to make theircross, and is secure about the out-come. This, really, is the essence ofa free and fair election.To ensure this happens, we need to throw oursupport behind attempts to mobilise those SouthAfricans who have never had a say in running theirown lives. The unorganised. People in rural areas. Peo-ple too scared to vote. People who have not only beendisenfranchised by apartheid, but also disorganisedand disempowered.If we wake up the day after a free and fair electionto hear we have won, we need to be able to say: Thisis the will of the people.And if we wake up to hear we have lost, we needto be able to say: This, too, is the will of the people.Because, for the first time in South African histo-ry, it will not be the most powerful who hold the reins.It will be the most popular.- Chris VickWork In ProgressNo 88 April/May 1993Published by the Southern African Research Service (SARS)PO Box 32716, Braamfontein 2017Head Office: 9th Floor, Auckland House, cnr Smit & Biccard Streets,Braamfontein, JohannesburgPhone: (011) 403-1912Fax: (011) 403-2534Cape Town Office: PO Box 13309, Mowbray 7705Phone & fax: (021) 448-37271993EDITOR: Chris VickASSISTANT EDITOR: Hein MaraisWRITER: Kerry CullinanEDITORIAL ASSISTANT: Francine JoselowskyPRODUCTION: Annette GriesselBUSINESS MANAGER: Hector MbauADMINISTRATOR: Sibongile ThombeniSALES & DISTRIBUTION: Kenosi SengatiSUBSCRIPTIONS: Lawrence WsamaiCOVER PHOTOGRAPH: Olivier SamsonREPRODUCTION: Wits UniversityPRINTING: Perskor Page 6 of 58 WIP 88 ContentsBRIEFS 2WORLD BRIEFS 4PERSONALLY SPEAKING 6Baleka Kgositsile, ANC Women's LeagueCOVER STORY: The people go to the polls 8 Will the ANC win?The movement gets a chance to prove itssupport - Hein Marais Stick your neck outFrom Doctor Khumalo to James Motlatsi- we tell you who THEY think will win On the campaign trailMandela's drawing on Clinton's best-Andrew McDonald No dirty tricksHow to organise a good and clean election Pinning the tail on the donkeyif scientists can't get the weather right, canthey forecast how people will vote?- Hein Marais How strong is the IFP, really?
