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.

"Isn't it interesting that all the so-called transformation measures that #VoetsekANC adopted since 1994, have only destroyed institutions, departments, SOEs, sports administration offices. And of course, they create overnight millionaires and billionaires."

@PKKao5 tweeted:

"ANC's 109 years of existence and 27 years in governance means nothing. Mud houses, no water, corruption, unemployment! #VoetsekANC."

@RamaboduObakeng asked:

"#VoetsekaANC what are you celebrating bloody crooks? ANC109OfLooting."
