Is the ANC sure of anything?

U were more than just a success, hence ANC thieves r in celebration mode! But what they don't know, it's only momentarily...

And suddenly what the ANC says is gospel?

He is giving up on the people he claims to help bcs he can’t stand a wire woman being set democratically elected into a position of influence? Hmmmmmmmm

I can't listen to the losers called MYANC. They had their chance and did not deliver to the satisfaction of the people.
