One of the consequences of the ANC's failures is that it paints all Black people in a bad light. Here me well... ALL BLACK PEOPLE. No matter how uppity, educated, well-travelled, accomplished & rich you are... anytime a random White person sees you, they see the ANC. They see corruption, incompetence, arrogance, entitlement, laziness, lack of accountability. You are an ANC loser in their eyes until proven otherwise. Even if you're in the same neighbourhoods, they assume you got there through BEE & stealing money. This isn't even about White people - coz their opinion of us shouldn't matter... It's also about how hardworking, talented, sacrificing, innovative Black people are pained seeing their race in that same light... and they then endeavour to move far away from their people, including their own family members. The ANC has really ruined the image of Black South Africans. And by ANC, I include the EFF & MKP. Julius Malema was a leader in that same ANC. Jacob Zuma was a leader in that same ANC. They are complicit in the image of Black South Africans to the world. Some of us need to work harder to shift the image... and elevate the right Black people. And we have many.

Deleted post: I've deleted a post in which I was less than polite. I'm trying to stop saying *** off even to racists-who-don't-know-they-are-racists and who are appallingly behaved.

Please, stop misleading society and your readers. Show some respect. South Afrcans have lost faith in politicians. Let's have a media people can trust, not this misinformation carried in this article. Very unfortunate media reporting.

ActionSA has concluded a productive and mutually respectful first engagement with the ANC in which we discussed principles around how stable and effective coalition governments could be formed. We remain committed to engaging all parties in such a manner.

Let me be clear, ActionSA's choices in coalitions: ✅️ Will be based on the best interests of residents of municipalities and the wishes of our constituents. ❌️ Won't be based on the patronising and arrogant insults of people and organisations that hate ActionSA.

Comment: It’s not. If I were you, follow Ipsos and the CSIR and News24/Sanbi. This is biased polling and analysis by bilious people mostly outside SA. Some of their ‘big names’ were part of the flop White Crosses saga in Washington recently. Frans Cronje (who owns this site) used to be excellent. Now he is an enclavist/separatist - part of the rising right-wing. Be Woke!
