The ANC is facing a total political collapse because they choose political patronage over national progress.
Support has crashed across almost every voter group, including black and rural voters. In suburban areas, they are completely wiped out.
The economic destruction is real, as GDP per capita has fallen and job creation has collapsed under Cyril Ramaphosa. Millions of South Africans are actively getting poorer.
To make matters worse, corrupt officials are committing digital sabotage. They blocked Starlink from launching because Elon Musk rightfully refused to pay them bribes.
They would genuinely rather leave deep rural communities in the dark ages without high-speed internet, killing small businesses and education, just because party cadres couldn't line their pockets.
Liberation credentials cannot hide this level of economic failure and greed.
