Honestly 2024 let's do the right thing vote my ANC out and give people like this man a chance. Hayingeke ANC uzamile wenza but now you have thieves

[@mthobisisikhakhane5305]

You the first ANC member who speaks sense openly, thank you for that. I wish others can learn from you, not protecting your party noma ibheda. Much respect for you.

[@muzimm6243]

I’m going to campaign and vote for him, Amanda!

[@masimoserenyane9971]

He makes so much sense. people actually find it shocking... you can become the best you. he is living proof of that.

[@Bruingebak]

Now you're talking...

[@dd7620]

Talk is cheap. 😂

[@dadomakhathini6390]

you cannot say his living proof , what has he done for you to say that? action speaks louder than words, his just dishing words, you can only say he is living proof after he has succeeded in what he is saying, so dont judge according to words, we need action not words

[@Amor-zone]

*Guyz let's vote for this guy, he might really rescue us from this mess*

[@menzorams9702]

He is right maybe give a man a chance to prove himself. We need actions not empty promises and useless meetings. Any South African who have solutions are more than welcome. We are tired of load shedding.

[@Nikolizky]

Mackenzie is right, I work in an overseas country in a power plant. The country has a branch of the military (not police), that guards the country’s essential infrastructure. So when I get to work I first go through a gate manned by the military with an access card issued by the military, then go through the second gate with the company’s access card manned by contracted security company. It just shows how seriously some countries prioritize security. SA under the ANC has totally lost its way.

[@merlegouveris3166]

Really? What about the billions owed to escom by non paying municipalities and soe's?! If it was so simple would Oberholzer and De Ruyter really not have achieved it?!?! Pahleeze!!!! Dayton is all mouth.

The most important part that is affecting Eskom is lack appointing engineers who qualified for electricity generation and thorough feasibility study of causes of eradicate corruption and enriching friends.

Mr Gayton, polish your actual action plan, verify it and communicate it with people that want a change and You will have our full support

Because he is not a spineless wimp and won’t joke around with the unions.

[@Coco-kw3iv]

Mantashe is lying. Electricity is not a global problem. I'm in Europe right here not even a single day or single minute without electricity. Even if it was just for argument's sake, it would have started recently because of Russia Ukraine "war". Eskom has had problems for years now. So Mantashe must stop playing blame game...

I like the simplicity and alluding to the mere basics, hence I voted for him. you don't need higher grade English and being a typical politician to bring change. he understands what happens at the ground and we need more people like him in power, not this rubbish politicians who prioritize red tape before the people

[@not.likely]

@@happyrwanda1557 he wants popularity, he gets it and deserves it The ANC get the vote because of BEE, which everyone can now see, helps only for the appointed cadres Mckenzie gets popularity because he gets the job done...and that benefits every one. The ANC is not a party that works for the people, they're a party that are in this for themselves. Their 'up in the air' outdated communist ideolgies is just window dressing. It is of no practical value and does not add value to the quality of South African life. But because the opposite is true, that's also precisely why they've failed.
