Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Interesting point, @BenjaminFogel.
Political memory among SA voters seems short.

I find it bizarre that the July 2021 Riots, the worst incidence of violence in post-Apartheid South Africa barely features as an election issue apart from implied threats from MK Party

Campaign for Free Expression calls on President Cyril Ramaphosa to call off his “dogs of war”, the State Security Agency (SSA) which appears to be interfering in the SABC’s coverage of the elections. @SABCNews @moshoeshoeMN @SOSCoalition

What in the ANC is going on here?

- The ANC tried to implement eTolls.
- South Africans saw corruption and said no.
- The ANC tried even harder to implement them (do you remember the monthly invoices?).
- South Africans saw corruption and said no.
- The ANC continued to try to implement it for 11 years.
- South Africans saw corruption and said no.

The whole concept failed because South Africans said no. The only part the ANC played is that they kept trying to implement it... for almost 11 years.

And now the ANC are celebrating a failed concept that they tried to implement but it didn't work because South Africans saw corruption and said no.

I bet you that we all still get an invoice this month.

South Africa is a movie. 😂🤣

*Thank you to all the South Africans who stood up against this and @OUTASA (the real heroes here).
