What's behind the ANC's election setback? | Inside Story


It’s a vote that’s ended thirty years of the ANC’s dominance in South African politics.
Voters dealt a blow to the African National Congress, angry at what they consider to be its failure to deal with a dire economy and poverty.
Now, the party will have to engage in talks with rivals to form a coalition government.
So what concessions might it…

  1. Ramaphosa was and still iewd by us as apuppet, people were warned by our astute minds but masses were overlooked. He has been a proxy of the White Monopoly Capital. He was made a billionaire without assets now he is demamder to pay back his bosses at the expense of dipping his cheese in the blood of his people, The White Monopoly Capital narratie of corruption is a scare monster that the corrupt WMC created. These are the people who have fenced rivers in South Africa, these are people who have evergreen contract in the SOES/ The RAMAPHOSA ANC have killed the ANC 1. In the history of ANC it is only in his time that workers were not given salaries for months, 2. The state instruments were collapsed, the ESKOM, the rail were literally andalised in 2020 when the governement cancelled all security contracts. 3. The rot during Covid, they preapred garaves for the masses and looted PPE mooney, the list is endless.

  2. the ANC should not even consider how the markets will do. 32% unemployment rate and most of the youth are unemployed so where are the foreign investments? This coalition should be formed for the sake of South Africans, not the markets and we should not please the West.

  3. Khuphuka Msholozi, bitter sulking hateful colonial apologists' chest pains showing in comments and reporting,, no longer shall this land be dictated to by oppressive Western nations,, AFRIKA UNITE AGAINST OPPRESSORS AND EXPLOITERS OF OUR LAND!!!

  4. The ANC is an anti-Apartheid party. It was conceived, birth and came of age in the cauldron of that struggle. Since the end of Apartheid, the ANC has failed to evolve politically to meet the needs of a 21st century South Africa. Hence, by 2050, I foresee that the ANC will become a minor and peripheral party in SA politics. Indeed, by 2050 the ANC may not even exist.

  5. Since 1994 the money class (wealthy whyte elites) in SA have used their local agents, the comprador ANC leadership core to give the impoverished Black South Afrikans the illusion of freedom. The comprador/compromised ANC were doomed to fail from the beginning because they were led by corrupt individuals who betrayed the Black South Afrikans to appease the white minority. in SA & the western countries that supported the white minority domination of the SA economy and their capture of the Black South Afrikans land and mineral resources. Over the years BLACK SOUTH AFRIKANS have come to realize that the promise change and revolution in the country made by the ANC in its FREEDOM CHARTER were only tools to befool their people who had struggled and sacrificed each and every thing they possessed to end oppression and white domination in SA.

  6. And Zuma, the crook and most corrupt president in the history of our democracy is the darling of the moment. Have these imbeciles forgotten he brought Gupta malfeasance, almost single handedly destroyed SOEs with corrupt appointments, tender fraud and manipulation and set the bench mark for arrogant disregard of the rule of law. To this day, 20 years later, he still must stand trial for the arms deal corruption. How is this even possible?.

  7. This land issue is bulldust. Most groups who were granted land prefered the money. EFF and MK and in the begining the ANC used it as an emotional issue. People want jobs to be able to earn a living wage. Under the corrupt caders the economy took a knock and investors left SA. To vote for a person like happened in the case of MK prove that voters are not well educated enough to make intellectual decisions to the benefit of SA and the poor. Useless loosers are playing the race card which has no benefit for progress in SA. What a shame.

  8. MK is Mkonto Wesizwe, The Spear of the Nation, armed wing of ANC. They plan to hijack back the ANC with original KGB backers. Putin and FSB are manipulating 😢
