The ANC showing their true colors ahead of the local elections!
President Jacob Zuma had a lot to say about the opposition political
parties ahead of the local government elections. Perhaps the most
classic remark was,“opposition parties do not have what it takes to lead
SA.” It would seem that it only works one way, and that is the ANC way
or no way.
Zuma believes that only the African National Congress (ANC) is the
sole liberator, the only party with experience and a history. The only
party that can govern South Africa and Zuma reminded the audience about
the importance of not believing the bad press written about the ANC.
Zuma even said that he knows the public’s hearts are broken when the
media writes these stories. Of course, Zuma would say that there has
been so much bad news recently, and how can we not believe the stories
of corruption, protests, and crime all squarely springing from the ANC’s
doorstep.
On a drive to garner support ahead of the elections next month, Zuma
said that he did not understand why black people chose to vote for the
Democratic Alliance(DA), a party that according to Zuma had lost its
way. Zuma went on to say that the ANC pitied the DA. Perhaps pity was
the wrong word; it should have been envy.
Not only did the president have nothing good to say about the DA, but
other political parties also got a Zuma jab as well. Zuma reminded the
crowd that Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) was
expelled from the ANC, and during the time when Nelson Mandela was
alive. Perhaps by referring to Mandela, the crowd would sympathise with
the president.
Bantu Holomisa, the leader of the United Democratic Movement (UDM),
was mocked for being called a “general.” by Zuma who said he was never a
soldier. Other political parties got a swipe of degrading disrespectful
mentions from Zuma, and the crowd was reminded to be serious and vote
for the only party that can deliver, the ANC.
The sentiments delivered by Zuma on behalf of the ANC ahead of the
elections next month point to the fact that the ruling party has their
noses out of joint because the media are exposing all the corruption and
bad governance.
What Zuma does not get is that the ANC are not an honest and
efficient government. What Zuma does not understand is that the people
want change, they have now realized that after 22 years, the situation
is deteriorating. There is an awaking among the individuals who have
finally realized that the ANC is not delivering, the politicians are
lazy and corrupt. The people who have the power to change, have realized
that the thievery, pot holes, service deliveries, education, health,
crime, and corruption must stop. Zuma, on the other hand, seems to
believe that South Africa is a country running full steam ahead into a
first world country.
