The mass of ANC members found in the branches have become the equivalent of the workers in the ant colony whose role in the organisation is to serve factional interests and become voting fodder for slates.

in the growing field of artificial intelligence. Organisational development theory and leadership studies have produced tons of literature focusing on their teamwork, division of labour, effective communication system, and colony organisation.

The ants we see outside, toiling, foraging and walking up and down, carrying objects, going about their respective jobs diligently, are the mass class of the so-called “workers” — all females, and all at the service of their revered queen. They are much smaller in size, with no wings, and no privilege to lay an egg. The lifespan of an average worker ranges from a few weeks to a year.

Another striking feature of the ants that the governing party has copied is that they are completely oblivious to the world around them. The proverbial Rome may fall, but an ant wouldn’t be aware. It’s different with the ants though because they are just too small to notice any major developments around them. We even step over them all the time without looking down.

The life span of an average ant is very short — as little as a few weeks. Like the ant, the ANC of today lives for the moment, for the now. For the ants, however, even if they die, they have their way of passing their knowledge to the next generation — like where to find food, which pathway to take or to avoid, and intelligence about predators.; the tables have turned, experience is no longer treasured and the veterans of the party are treated shabbily and dismissed as deadwood.

The Black intellectual is failing the masses. He must make time away from WMC Media and attend any branch meeting in preparation for an elective conference and witness how some of us, who still want to see the attainment of the NDR get intimidated and threatened with machetes.

Another word for ANC members & ANCVoters is one from the ApartheidEra, used to describe the blindly loyal NationalParty supporters: Stemvee or VotingCattle! I think this is an apt description!!

Correct

SorryJacobZuma SorryJacobZuma 🙏🏼

But most of them do not know that they are members or even renewed their membership!

It's always been about mass sentiment here. Its a problem because most of them have no clue what they vote for. Hence we in this destruction of looting & abuse. They vote for criminals not what's best for them. We all get dragged down together

Battle for Gauteng ANC not over yet | CitypressThe failure by newly elected Gauteng Chairperson Lesufi to win all the top five positions at the party's recent conference gives the losing contender, Lebogang Maile, an indication that he is in with a chance to control the provincial executive committee. Are they such stooges They are both equally bad. Whichever one prevails it will be a disaster for Gauteng. A total bonus for Our_DA though, as the whole Province will go to them in 2024.
