The thing that scares me about South African politics and governance is that we ordinary people have to rely on the ANC to win the war against its own comrades and self-correct because the opposition parties are generally quite poor.
You can do all the political education you want but if that doesn’t resonate with people and give them a clear idea of what the country would look like under your regime, you’ll be struggling for 10% for a few election cycles.
If you campaign based on the work you’ve done in the one province and metro you govern, you’re not going to go far if that province and that city actively work against the interests of the majority in the country. You’re being ridiculous.
You can’t run a campaign on how bad the ANC has become ever since they kicked you out and allow yourself to still be referred to as a General of a former Bantustan. I like Holomisa but he needs to do better.
That other guy is tapping into the repugnant resource that is xenophobia in order to build a party. They’ll get some votes but to see them hold any seats anywhere would be a damning indictment on South African society. I mean, we’re already a mess but yeah...
What’s the point of this thread? I don’t know. I just think we’re kinda screwed if the ANC doesn’t sort itself out
