According to him, the previous general election was proof of this when many South Africans chose to rather not vote at all and stay home.

TimesLIVE reported that Mashatile told South Africans that the ruling party was the only solution to the problems that the country faced and without the ANC all hope is lost.

@mickeydedrinker:

"IFP must just win KZN like they did in 1994, maybe those criminals who defected to ANC post Polokwane conference will go to their home and let the ANC cleanse itself from rapists, warlords, tribal lunatics and Inkabis."

@slago012:

"#ANCKZN KZN should be a case study for the ANC Policy Conference, you can't go to a conference under the theme Unity and Renewal with 5 Slates."

@Ashseraka2:

"The fact that those fools in KZN Conference are still singing " Wenzeni u Zuma " tells us that the ANC is not the solution to our troubles !!"
