Ramaphosa is finished, and without him the ANC will be lucky if they get above 40%.

He is finished yes, but I don't think he's so popular amongst ANC voters though. If the Zuma faction gets back into power it'd be to the ANC's advantage.

Zuma is popular in KZN and around Gauteng in areas where Zulus are found, and he shares the same supporters with the IFP. Cyril is indeed the glue that holds everything together, perhaps you think he is not popular because his supporters are not the raucous type who would die for him like Zuma supporters.

Before Phala Phala Cyril as a brand was more popular than the ANC in all provinces except KZN, his approval rating might have fallen slightly but I suspect he is still way more popular than the party he leads.

In your opinion, is New Dawn better or worse than Zuma?

Worse.
Politically, they are identical in every way. They are both thieves, incompetent and corrupt to the core.

Reason why the Ramamessaiah is worse is because he had the media backing him for most of his presidency. That has only started changing very recently.

In other words, the ANC will win by a majority (50%+) in the next election as they did under Zuma?

No, voters don't vote for what's better... we know this already.

Cyril doing a second term is probably better for the country, worse for the ANC though.
Zuma (His camp) taking control again will probably be better numbers for the ANC but worse for the country.

That said, the ANC is on such a slide anyway I don't think they will make 50% again any time soon.

Considering that most of the audience were members were from the ANC's national executive committee (NEC) and leadership I would guess that the parking area looked like an exotic car show. I am surprised the the unpaid workers never protested by indulging in a spot of traditional ANC vandalism.

Those who paid the R165,000 per seat that it cost to be at deputy president David Mabuza’s table next to the main table got a raw deal, as Mabuza didn’t show up...

I wonder if any honest people would have wanted to share a table with him in view of all the accusations of corruption, involvement in tender fraud and being behind the assassination of political opponents

No one cares about unproven allegations, the reason not many people would sit at his table is that he does not inspire any confidence in terms of taking over, not because of allegations.

Check his table again in a couple years time when it looks like he is about to take over, all the "honest" people would be there.

You think he's going to last past the party elections?

Good point, I don't think he is going to survive, he is a Judas in the eyes of the Zuptoids, they still have to get back at him for his betrayal.

Not just that. He's lost the confidence of a lot of supporters lately. Remember also that his position inside the ANC never was that strong and I think even his allies smell the blood in the water.
