Business Information service provider I-Net Bridge has launched SA`s first dynamic on-line election monitor which provides impartial information about the lead-up to the country`s second democratic elections.
The special Election `99 report, which is updated constantly, tackles everything voters, business people and even South Africans abroad need to know. There`s news and views from the campaign trail through to interviews and profiles of political party leaders and constantly updated reports on the latest opinion poll trends.
Specialist writers provide indepth analysis of the meaning behind politicians` words and actions. I-Net Bridge is also looking at on-line chats with senior political leaders similar to the one conducted with Reserve Bank Governor Chris Stals in February.
There`s also a violence monitor tracks underlying tensions surrounding the campaign; and for those who find all this too depressing, there`s a special section devoted to lighter moments and incidents.
A section entitled "Last Time Around" provides a comprehensive overview of the results of the 1994 election, with easy-to-read graphics depicting the breakdown of political party support nationally and in the nine provinces.
I-Net Bridge editor Sven Lunsche says negotiations are underway with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to enable live reporting of election results on the Web site as they become available.
The I-Net Bridge Election Report can be accessed via I-Net Bridge`s subscriber Business Information Service (BIS), its search engine Ananzi at http:// www.ananzi.co.za or the NetAssets service on http://www.netassets.co.za
The Election Report is the latest in a series of interactive Special Reports by the I-Net Bridge news team and follows the success of its Budget survey in February this year.
On May 10, I-Net Bridge will also launch an extensive World Cup Cricket report which will also be available via the netAssets, Ananzi and BIS websites.
Other features planned include The Comrades, Anglo American`s London listing, and, of course, the Rugby World Cup.
