So sick of all these anti-corruption parties, it's refreshing to see a pro-corruption party!
-
Mandela is probably spinning so much in his grave at the state of the ANC that if they wrap him in copper wire he can single handedly solve all of South Africa's power issues.
-
The fact that so many still support him even though South Africa's current problems starts to really get awful during his leadership is shocking
-
"If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did, you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government" - Nelson Mandela
-
The good: The ANC is losing its stranglehold on power. The bad: Zuma’s pushing it.
-
So many people in South Africa have lost faith in democracy as a whole. Zuma even being allowed to return shows how far gone everything is
-
South african here: This one's going to be absolutely hilarious. I'm here for it. First time the elections aren't pointless
-
ANC vs MK. Corrupt and incompetent vs incompetent and corrupt.
-
Zuma literally ran South Africa into the ground and now has the audacity to oppose the ANC (which has been and is horrible at the moment).
-
As far as I'm aware, some of the statistics for an improvement in GDP and racial economic equalities are highly skewed, because rather than lifting the living standards of black people overall, a new super-rich black elite was created while most others were left in whatever degree of poverty they were in.
-
As a South African I am confidently voting for DA, and I highly recommend fellow South Africans to do so. All our parties here are corrupt, however voting the second largest party while numbers for ANC are down is our only hope. I'm not too optimistic about DA, but we have to pick our poison.
-
The tree votes for the axe because it too, is made out of wood
-
As a South African. The ANC have not lifted no one out of poverty, I'm a coloured, Black economic empowerment has only created a black ultra rich, nothing in the middle, until someone who wants to sort out Eskom and make South Africa better for everyone we are leading ourselves to be like Zimbabwe as media freedom is getting worse as well
-
It's sad to see that there are a lot of people who are seriously considering Zuma's party and now his apparently gonna run again. The man was responsible for state capture being as bad as it was, he did literally nothing to combat the electricity crisis when it first started (loadshedding does not count). The ANC isn't any good either. None of the other parties have been convincing enough at least for me to want to vote for them too .
-
The rolling blackouts started in the 00s already. It's because the ANC didn't build additional power stations until the country was already running out of power.
-
As a south african I am terrified
-
The fact that zuma is allowed to run again with a criminal record is so embarrassing for south africa and the continent as well.
-
As a South African, Im so glad there is a video about this. The whole of South africa is buzzing for the upcoming election, we are all so hopeful for change.
-
Zuma kinda destroyed South Africa How is he even in the running
-
those potential coalition partners definitely sound...interesting
