I am an ex KZN Citizen, left in 2000. Can't you people see that South started collapsing immediately after Zuma became president. Zuma sold South Africa to some thugs from India. MK is going nowhere else besides KZN. I miss the place but never coming back. KZN is the home of mayhem. MK can have it and ask for independence. For the 😢rest of South Africa that will be a thorn of our backs.

I don't blame the province look at their Capital city 5 years back was better looking then it is today. Looking at the biggest municipalities were doing better then we see today so I feel that the ANC and Inkatha freedom party has failed the people. Who ever knew that people in umhlathuze municipality would one day have no water running on their taps yet they have one of the largest dams to curb the water issues and further looking at the electricity breakdowns they have been constantly experiencing other then load shedding it really tells that all that was not passing with being noted and observed by their citizens.

If you did not learn with the ANC, then you may learn better with MK. Those people, irrespective of race, who have jobs and are qualified will keep their heads above water, but those who are struggling will learn a new level of suffering. In saying this, I am in no way suggesting to vote for the DA. I dislike them, but sometimes even if you dislike someone, they may just have a better plan-not the best, just better.

Same people: we will vote for MK, only Zuma at 82 can rescue us bring us the eutopia in the next 5 yrs he failed to deliver in the 10yrs he was President of ANC. Zuma: I’m still a member of ANC & will die ANC but will only vote Mk. ANC is the only political party in the country others are . ANC: He has expelled himself by forming another party & stealing ANC trademark. Same people: wenzeni u Zuma. Thabo Mbeki did not campaign for ANC and was not expelled or disciplined. Zuma is not a member of Mk & was not involved in its formation nor does he want a position, he is just exercising his constitutional right and voting for Mk Zuma: I’m president of MK, infact I formed it and used Jabulani Khumalo as ice boy.

Zulu's voted for Ramaphosa, Mandela and Mbheki but no one said anything about tribalism... Other tribes are always calling Zulu's tribalism but the Zulu's never called anyone tribalism and that alone says a lot about all those people who likes to talk about tribalism; they are the ones who are seriously, angry and jealous of the Zulu unity and then maneuver to call them names. In actual fact everyone who likes to talk in such manner are really full of hate and Tribalists themselves to the core, it's a shame to have witnessed all of these amongst South Africans tribes, I believe the enemy won in separating us, whites, Indians and coloureds are always voting for people who mostly relate to them but there's never anyone called them hateful comments and names as Gwede Mantashe, Mbheki, Mbalula and Cyril Ramaphosa does.
