Amazing that the anc are handling issues of government,

Why the MYANC and not the government, kanti when are these people going to start treating these two as different entities even worse the one affects MYANC and the other affects the whole country ANC or not

CyrilRamaphosa Your indecisiveness and need for favour and approval is helping destroy South Africa. The leash of corruption is controlling you, your legacy will be one of passivity and submission to criminal dogma. Take charge and do the right thing! SouthAfricaisDying
