In the pic, two members wearing ANC shirts can be seen carrying barrels of wood while the community looks on. They seem to be cleaning the streets.
Mzansi, however, was unaffected by the display of philanthropy as many people felt these politicians only lent a hand to gain the favour of the poor majority.

"So it's an African thing, African politicians remain over generous and very humble as long as the vote is not cast."

"The problem is not the ANC but the real problem is the people that keeps voting for them. Imagine if Mkhize took 150 million alone how many more did the same and got away with it."
@KPourish said:
"Somehow I now see this as disrespecting and mocking poor people's livelihoods.. cause these parties do this every end of term and still go back to offices/parliament and forget about people living like that daily. Mxm."

Haibo: Video shows woman stomping on ANC apparel, heated brawl soon erupts
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that a video of a local woman stomping on some ANC merchandise is making the rounds on social media. It seems her actions really triggered members of the African National Congress who were nearby as soon a heated fistfight erupts between the party and members of the community.
Heading online, Twitter user @VusiSambo shared the viral video.
"You show up uninvited to sell ‘our people’ yet another electioneering pipe dream, you get your ass handed to you," he captioned the post in part.
It seems many South Africans agreed with the young man's sentiments and headed online to voice their concerns. Some people really could not believe they were witnessing a grown man hitting a lady.
Others scolded the adults for fighting so violently around children.
