South Africans give the ANC a kick in the teeth

The ANC is on course for its worst electoral showing yet in South Africa’s municipal vote as it bore the brunt of public anger over water and power outages and potholed roads.

You can blame the useless coalition governments, not the ANC directly. Voters have directed their anger at the ANC specifically without understanding the true causes.

If you look at the election results of the about the last 20 years or so, you will see that there is a steady decline in the number of votes that the ANC received. People are just sick of empty promises and corruption.

The ANC is the cause. There is nothing to discuss

Worst reporting I've seen in a while.

This only shows the ethics of most of the people in South Africa sucks because they still have a massive following obviously of criminals and corruption partakers.

It can also be a combination of the old core voter base from the 90's dying out (from old age, disease etc), and progressively the new young voters aren't swayed on supporting the anc to replace them. So a portion of that decline is permanent.

Really? The ANC is in fact the cause of all this khak going on! Thinking otherwise is just plain ignorant.

Another hot take from @The Gilded and his amazeballs grasp of reality.

Do you think service delivery, corruption, etc would be in a better state if the ANC governed on their own?

The headline speaks to me.

Can we not do both?

The ANC has outlived its usefulness when Apartheid ended.
They were under the false impression they would never be challenged and rule this country until Jesus Christ comes.
They will decline even further...

The so-called Great Liberation Movement achieved its initial goal, but failed and obliterated the country thereafter.

Go back to Nigeria.

No, because the ANC are infallible. The people just can't see that.

Except in the rural areas it seems where they are alive and kicking.

I don’t know if it’s the reliable water infrastructure, the electricity supply to all the villages or the high speed high coverage affordable Starlink internet that’s pushing them to vote for ANC….

Do you think service delivery, corruption, etc would be in a better state if the ANC governed on their own?

Yes. Metros stood out as examples of efficiency and corruption was unthinkable 20 years ago. The world gasped in awe and dreamed that their own cities could be run like ours. Then the media lied about Zuma and everything went to hell.

You can try and cover for the ANC but it is a known fact that their management was close to uselessness (if not worse) which was even endorsed by Ramaphosa!
