It seems like the only card the ANC has to play is the race card.
They cannot boast about service delivery as they failed miserably at that. They cannot boast about education as they *****ed that up. They cannot boast about efficient governance as half the countries municipalities are bankrupt. They cannot boast about fighting crime and corruption as most of their leaders either have records already or are under investigation for crime and or corruption. They cannot boast about creating jobs as unemployment have reached record levels under their watch. They cannot boast about efficiently running the country as the unions are currently doing that for them [minus the efficient part]....

Abantu (or 'Bantu' as it was used by colonists) is the Zulu word for people. It is the plural of the word 'umuntu', meaning 'person', and is based on the stem '--ntu' plus the plural prefix 'aba'.
The term Bantu is no longer used except in its original context in reference to Bantu languages. The term African is correct and courteous. It is one of the few terms that black South Africans have chosen, that has wide acceptance and that has not been mediated or appropriated through colonization. The widespread and official use of the terms African and black raise new questions. There was a stage when 'black' meant anyone not white, i.e. South African black Africans, Indians and Coloureds.
