@TheAutoDragon said:
"It gets into top gear, makes false promises then goes back to its normal self once elections are over. Predictable..."
@EmisangRadio said:
"27 years to get into top gear? Aowa guys. Rest for 5 years. Go strategise and come play when you are serious. At this rate and pace, you are creating an unstable environment for all."
@MrPro_ducer said:
"Ba tlhomola pelo nou. They wanna remain in POWER so that they can continue making our lives a living hell. They eat alone, they kill us, they starve us n then burn the food we desperately need. They take our jobs, make ish more and more expensive."
@Thambu02 said:
"We are not your puppets."
@Phunyu2 said:
"Contradicting yourself, a big organisation shouldn’t be struggling to deliver basic needs to the people. 27 years later people still don’t have access to clean water, no roads, overcrowded schools and no access to tertiary education. I don’t even want to talk about jobs."
Ramaphosa reassures South Africans that the ANC is in safe hands
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa used the publicity from his visit to Johannesburg as voting registration opened up nationwide to reassure the public.
Ramaphosa wanted to make it clear that the ANC is united and that it is far from collapsing. He added that if the ANC were ever to collapse it would happen on his watch. Ramaphosa addressed the media during his walk around Soweto.
From what Ramaphosa had to say, everything is going great at Luthuli House with challenges being addressed, according to the SowetanLIVE. The most recent issue for the ruling party had been the registration of candidates. The party failed to register all their candidates on time.
eNCA reported that the ANC is confident that they will perform well in the elections despite the Constitutional Court ruling against the reopening of candidate registrations.
