There are still good people in ANC but circled by RET hyenasRET crooks and thieves don't care about poor people. In public they pretend to be caring about the poor people but in their hearts they are harbouring contempt for them. Like in every life situation, there is the good and the bad and there is a fine distinction and always we must strive to defeat the bad and make prominent the good.Great insight Makweru. What's wrong with demanding economic transformation? Lol, gud ppl in anc, ret/cr17 is the same thing, they are fighting for opportunity to pillage.

Boring news 😴 Mxm SG failed to pay staff and SG onyabe kanje even his speech there is no sense Anc is dead stellenbosch kill Anc every day sometimes they act like they support cupcake but they know they kill Anc for DA but DA is disappointing also and no intelligence in current Anc leadership The man who knows nothing of corruption on the Alex project and didn't pocket 2$m intended for the party, is a stand in for the bombastic, threatening Jesse Duarte. A good call I guess.
