Fridays may be rather exciting for most as the day marks the end of the work week but it's also the day where most South Africans voice their opinions about politics online. Generally, either #VoetsekANC or #VoetsekEFF trends.
However, today they're trending together. Twitter is known for being an app where people share their thoughts in a more open manner than they would on other social networking sites. That's exactly what's happening through these two hashtags.
Since the early hours of this morning, SAns have been openly expressing their feelings regarding the African National Congress and the Economic Freedom Fighters.

"Put citizens of South Africa first. You will be able to win elections. #VoetsekEFF"
@theeNosh wrote:
"Judging by the results of the recent by-elections, people are still voting for them. Our people don't want change. Or is it a case of there is no alternative or lack of political education?"
@RealAlexMchunu tweeted:
" 'EFF' and their MPs are wearing expensive clothes, driving expensive cars, but in Parliament, they are wearing red domestic workers uniform. EFF is insulting domestic workers, undermining the dignity of "women" in domestic uniform. #VoetsekEFF #CR17BankStatements"
@pablo_0606 said:
"They're busy making up false Covid-19 infections stats to scare people so that they will force the masses to take their vaccine. We see you ANC. #VoetsekANC"
Previously Briefly.co.za reported that #VoetsekANC was trending. Saffas shared articles, stories and information pertaining to a number of ongoing ANC scandals using the hashtag. A lot of them also shared memes and gifs to describe the extent of their unhappiness with the African National Congress.
While #VoetsekEFF also made headlines as Saffas expressed their concerns about the party. Many Saffa tweeps spoke about the EFF's lack of awareness on subjects such as GBV and human trafficking.
Other tweeps believe that the EFF is concerning themselves more with issues relating to foreign nationals in SA. EFF's Mbuyiseni Ndlozi took to Twitter to speak about the borders in SA. He said:
"Why take our attention to the border and away from our oppressors? The border didn't oppress us, whites did, today with ANC's permission."
