On 8 January, 1912, the African National Congress (ANC) was officially formed. The ANC is now celebrating its 109th birthday but many South Africans have taken the opportunity to call the ruling party out.
As always, it's "Voetsek Friday" on Twitter and SAns have turned all their attention onto the ANC. #VoetsekANC has been at the top of the Twitter trend list since the early hours of Friday morning with many frustrated tweeps using the hashtag.
Number two on the trending list is "#ANC109" which includes a few congratulatory messages and a lot of frustration.

"He's busy going to the nice quiet places where he can enjoy the beach to himself and obviously not have to do any actual work...when has he ever been known to fulfil any of his responsibilities and duties? Busy touring SA at our cost of course. #VoetsekBhekiCele#VoetsekANC."
