Why do people keep voting and defending the ANC.

The irony is that black people vote ANC because of people like you. Why should I vote for a white controlled party when a good chunk of white people have this attitude? If you have experienced racism, like me, then voting becomes an emotional rather than a rational exercise.
I would also like to add that, believe it or not, for a majority of the people ANC has done more good than harm. It may not make sense to you but it is because you are from a section of the population that is advantaged

Crazy country when white racists support the party that would improve the lives of blacks far more then the party that the majority of blacks vote for. .

Exactly.
I see an ANC supporter as someone who supports corruption, crime, chaos etc etc.
It's standard practice of the ANC and if anyone supports the party they are then supporting their actions.

This is not 1994 anymore. Time to wake up.... No wait that time has long passed.

This is not about race I don't care who is in power. I do care about law and order, living in a country that's safe and relatively peaceful.
We will never have this under the ANC
 
Only deprived idiots will vote for cANCer and unfortunately at least 60% of South Africans are idiots. They get bribed, threatened and brainwashed into voting for them. Of that 60% very few also get to know the truth about the cANCer.

How can they not know the truth?
Do they read? Have they got eyes and ears? Do they have brains?
 
You're dealing with people who migrate from the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape for a better life and more opportunities and the first thing they do when they get here is throw faeces everywhere then try to tear down the economy by rioting and closing down major highways and destroying infrastructure.

You cannot accuse them of being burdened by rational thought processes.

Dem refugees...
 
marine1 the realty is that the average person that lives in a township does not have internet and does not buy the paper .
So people vote for what they know , so the sooner free WIFI and what ever else internet connections can be rolled out to the masses the better .
 
There is just currently no better alternative to the ANC. The whole world seems to be lacking any real leadership as far as I can see.
 
I am worried that if the ANC start doing badly in elections, they'll begin to implement populist policies that will keep them in power but destroy the country.
 
Dem refugees...

Nope, remember the stink when Zille tried to call them that?

Anyway, most refugees actually appreciate the countries they move to because they've experienced real horrors (Civil war, genocide, etc.) so they make better guests. A lot of them have decent educations as well and can actually contribute to society when given the opportunity and more importantly they want to contribute. Why do you think the locals hate them so much?

South Africa is a very abnormal society:

  1. Those who have financial means are double taxed. After paying taxes which are supposed to be used to provide public healthcare, road infrastructure, security, education, and so forth, people spend thousands of rands every month on medical aid subscriptions, security company subscriptions, toll fees, school fees, and so forth, to secure the infrastructure that is not being provided by government, but for which they have already paid.
  2. The tax burden of the entire country falls upon an economically productive minority who are then told they must do more to share their wealth.

Because the WC is also run into the ground like Limpopo amiright? I think most of the ANC's voters are scared to vote for the DA because it will look bad if "the white party" does a better job of governing the country than the ANC does currently.

Why would you judge a party based on a few racists who support it? Are you saying the ANC doesn't have racist supporters? The hardcore racist whites generally don't support the DA anyway, they prefer small Afrikaans parties.

Obviously things have improved slightly for most black people since the ANC took over! It was freakin' apartheid before them. The rate of progress is a snail's pace though.

This is how I see it: this country is not doing well under the ANC and they've had a long time in power, so give someone else a try. If you disagree about the ANC's ineptitude, vote for someone else to reduce the ANC's overwhelming amount of political power. There is no reason to vote ANC unless you're a corrupt official or tenderpreneur who thrives under them.

And there you have it. So having Internet and technology actually makes no difference.
This is the mind of an average person in SA.
I fear for the future
 
Hahaha, I am glad a thread like this exists.

The only reason I have heard why people keep voting for ANC is because of "The Struggle". While I do appreciate what ANC did back in those times, we need to move forward. It's kind of sad that the only thing that makes people vote for ANC is what they did back in the days. No other great successes other than their work back in the days :(

And yes I have also heard from quite a number of people why they wouldn't vote DA.....that being the president of DA is white....and apartheid will come back....they would only vote DA if the president is black.

Quite ridiculous statements, really.

While I agree with you that intel8080 is a moron, read a bit through your post again. Is that not the most ridiculous thing you've read in ages?

"Why should I support a party that is interested in making life better for me if racists support it too?"

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

+1
Sadly, this is a very likely outcome.

This is not an attitude which x, y or I am having. It is a fact! Some people turn a blind eye and they do so to their detriment. Sad but true. And even sadder is the fact that things are not going to change until Jesus comes :(
