South Africans turned their sights on the African National Congress after a video of people carrying a coffin across a bridge went viral. The bridge looked extremely unstable, and the men struggled to maintain balance in the clip. Mzansi was worked up and questioned why there was no proper bridge in the area while blaming the residents for voting for the African National Congress.

“They keep voting for nonsense yearly and will do it again next year. They must take the position to remove the ANC. I don’t care who they vote for, but the ANC must v**tsek.”
