Absolutely not. The failings of the anc is there for all to see. I just hate the popular perception on this forum and south african media in general that black south africans have not benefitted from democracy, they refuse to believe achievements but is quick to jump on the negatives and calling this country and its democratically elected government a failure because of it. I can understand that white south africans are unhappy because of these failures and how crime its effected their lives compared to pre '94.

But the 13 million sipho's recieving grants and the 15 million lerato's living in formal housing and the 4million middle and upper class tokyo's lives have improoved dramatically. That is what the ANC have done for them. They are called "ignorant" and the "uneducated" sheep that keeps the ANC in power on here and all over the internet.

U may not like it, but they vote for the ANC because of it.

I don't think anyone here disputes that the ANC has done a bit. However, turning the country into a welfare state supported by less than 15% of the population is NOT a success story.

Guys, i think we need to put Nika on ignore, it seems that because the ANC "has provided him" with a nice job, nice car etc. that this is a great country, crime is non-existant, the ANC = God.
Nika, please stop being so naive and open your blinkers, do a reality check on whats going on, maybe take a trip to another 3rd world country like Thailand where everything works, then you will notice how backward we have gone.

Please catch a wake up call!!!!

Education sucks at the expense of buying votes. What did they pay for yours?
