@Just_A_Driver24:
"#VoetsekANC110 a celebration of racial tension, corruption, lack of leadership, lack of admission, looting, no electricity, potholes, fucked railway, fucked infrastructure, wealthy politicians, draconian laws, starving children, no education! The @MYANC have much to celebrate! "

"The reason why Fikile does all these Zoom meetings and hardly ever goes to meetings is simple.
@kimheller3:
"The tragedy of the ANC is that it has crystallized black poverty & white wealth into society as if they are natural phenomena rather than carefully orchestrated by apartheid
ANC has kept white power, privilege &supremacy in play.
I am not shocked at #VoetsekANC #VoetsekANC110"
