As an EC resident, ANC has failed the province and betrayed the trust of its people.

How many more children should die before the eradication of pit latrines in public schools? A 4-year-old child's body was discovered in a pit latrine toilet in a school in the Eastern Cape. Sign this petition to call for DBE_SA to put an end to this!✍️🏾👉🏾

As a citizen and a voter, how can anyone continue to support a party that doesn't care about children and their safety. This is tragic and frightening.

And who do we have to thank for another child’s life because of pit toilets. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

We all need to be outraged by this tragedy. How can these pit lateines still be allowed? If there is money available for NSFAS students why has this been neglected? Because these poor young ones cant speak for themselves? No one is speaking for them? This is SAs collective shame

29years after our democratic dispensation 💔💔💔

Another proud story from anc

Let me guess… everyone is still gonna keep their jobs ? Meanwhile:

Is it the same parents who endorsed ANC government? The one who for iparty ka tata? They need to atleast love their children and offer them a future away from anc. Rip child

Some Eastern Cape people still have a mental vacuum, I fail to understand why they keep voting for the same useless ANC both in national & local elections

😭😭😭 Damn... I am really shaken.

Ministers and MPs are parading around in luxury cars and live like kings. There should be ZERO pit toilets at ANY school.

The very same people will vote for ANC next year😤😤

I can’t deal with this! What a horrific way for a poor child to die. ANC promises of getting proper toilets in the schools years ago are same as the rest of their promises, worthy of being down that pit latrine!

EASTERNCAPEGOV easterncapepleaee do better. Your kids are in private schools you are elected to improve the life of a black person. Habitat construction musy be investigated missed used funds to build classes and toilets at Impulelelo SSS Joe gqabi

Viva anc viva

Ramaphosa is going to make another empty promise to eradicate pit latrines. He promised the nation after the death of Michael Komape.

ANC is ruling SA for almost 30 years yet we are still faced with situations like these. But the ministers live in luxury, wear clothing worth thousands, travel first class & private jets, send their kids to private schools with security guards & hide dollars in sofas ANCsucks

Aybo. Kanti what's going on there koXhosa land

Sickening. ANCFail
