@@Point-taken Marxism and Pan-Africanism. There have been other Marxist, Pan-Africanist parties before them, but EFF is very much the biggest, though much of its strength lies in its being perceived by many young blacks as the anti-ANC. But the EFF love to shout and yell and make a lot of noise and have big rallies funded by big donors, but they don't have any discipline. It remains to be seen if the EFF can continue to pull the wool over the eyes of much of the public as they did in the last two elections.

IFP and BCM did far more than the ANC to end Apartheid, and then the ANC went to war with the IFP for political dominance when it was clear that the SA citizens who were allowed to vote, would vote to end apartheid. They did so well with their Propganda that the whole world has forgotten about everyone else who was involved in the struggle movement, and believes the ANC did it all on their own while in fact they were living comfy lives in exile in Europe on money donated by Europeans to help end apartheid. The end of Apartheid does not justify ANC rule

[@stevenvanstadenvanstaden4317]

Perfectly true. Actualkythis road us not as bad as most in the ANC-ruled provinces I made the journey by car from zcaoe Town to the KZN coast. Crossing the border from the DA-ruled Weztern Cape province into the ANC-ruled Eastern Cape and again into the ANC-ruled KZN was like going from a First World country into two Third World slums. Roads were overgrown with weeds, pot holes were just about everywhere, surfaces were uneven, disintegrating or poorly patched and bumpy. The roads mirrored the rezt of the I infrastructure,all of it neglected, crumbling, dilapidated. Under the rule of a kleptocratic government, how could it be otherwise? The electorate can change this but are told by the ANC and EFF leaders that the DA ruling the Western Cape is "a white party". Little do they realise how racist that statement us.
