ANC’s Fikile Mbalula Claims It Achieved 90% of Its Targets, South Africans Snicker

• The African National Congress's secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, asserted that the ruling party achieved 90% of the targets set for itself in 2019
• Mbaula made these statements at a media briefing where he updated the country on the outcomes of the NEC's meeting
• South Africans sarcastically chuckled and expressed their disdain at what they believed to be blatant lies

Tebogo Mokwena, a Briefly News current affairs journalist in Johannesburg, South Africa, has covered policy changes, politician-related news, and Daily Sun and Vutivi Business News elections for over seven years.

The African National Congress's secretary general, Fikile Mbalula, was called names after he announced that the ruling party made good on 90% of the promises it made to the country.

He claimed that the party would continue providing corruption-free service to the country, a statement South Africans scorned.

ANC delivered promises

According to Eyewitness News, the ruling party is adamant that it set out to achieve and succeeded in ensuring that 90% of what the nation was promised was obtained. This included getting rid of loadshedding, reducing employment and improving life for all South Africans.

South Africans can be forgiven for taking Mbalula's claims with a grain of salt. If anything, loadshedding has worsened since 2019, and despite promises made by the ruling party, the Minister of Electricity, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, revealed that loadshedding might intensify in the future.

South Africans put the ANC on blast

Netizens on social media denounced the ruling party for the claims Mbalula made, and Mbalula caught strays.
