2019 ELECTIONS: Ramaphosa tries to charm Hells Angels and doubters on North West campaign trail By Carien Du Plessis carienduplessis

Shading from the hot Mahikeng sun under a huge tree in the courtyard of a school in Ward 32, about a kilometre down the speedbump-riddled road that turns left after the lush Mmabatho Palms Hotel, a lanky biker with a yellow ANC T-shirt and a leather waistcoat admits he has reservations about who to vote for on 8 May.

Unlike the slightly older man on a plastic chair nearby, who said he’d vote ANC until he dies, the lanky biker blamed Eskom’s woes on the government.The older man said Eskom should get all the blame, not the government, because Eskom was too quick to get rid of their white experts just after 1994. Near the exit, a man in blue overalls with “Matlosana Municipality” embroidered on the breast was dishing out ANC T-shirts from the cubby hole of a car bearing the same branding. He secretly admitted to being a Democratic Alliance supporter.You know, the ANC government … ons het die DA nodig om hom terug op die spoor te sit ,” he said. He vowed that he would be at the DA’s manifesto launch rally the next Saturday in Potchefstroom.

carienduplessis A troubled soul. Dying of Cancer. The party is starting to die a horrible death from within. What do they say about at Otten apple in the basket? Such a shame. I’m not much of an opionist. But damn just keep it simple. Press Restart. But please defrag the ANC now.

carienduplessis Guess what hand?
