A decisive victory would empower Ramaphosa’s pro-business agenda, including releasing spectrum to the telecommunications sector, said Warwick Bam, head of research at Avior Capital Markets in Cape Town.

Investors are showing few signs of anxiety as next week’s poll approaches. SA stocks have made their best start to a year since 2007, advancing 11% as of the end of April, almost in line with the 12% gain by emerging-market peers. The benchmark index advanced 0.8% as of 11am in Johannesburg on Friday, the most in more than two weeks.
