In Gauteng, an incumbent councillor in Ekurhuleni has been accused of giving chicken portions and alcohol to buy votes, while rural people in KwaZulu-Natal were given money and alcohol to disrupt a community meeting and vote for their preferred candidate.

ANC spokesperson Brian Sokuthu warned against this “un-ANC” behaviour, saying it was not the culture and tradition of the party to buy votes.

“In fact, buying votes is un-ANC. If these claims are brought to our attention we should be able to investigate them,” Sokutu warned.

As socialists, buying votes is exactly what they do, on a much larger scale with more serious consequences.

Chicken and alcohol? Stereotype much?

Whats the difference between this and the OFFICIAL free parties, with free alcohol the ANC usually throws just before election time?
