Oh please! The ANC deployed four pillars of the struggle to bring down apartheid. 1. Mass mobilization and rendering apartheid ungovernable, 2. International isolation of apartheid, 3. Economic sanctions, and 4. Armed struggle led by Umkhonto we Sizwe. Your narrative is fake.

Now you want to write revisionist history? Just to undermine the ANC? By now, you must all understand that MYANC is a hegemonic titan that has stood the test of time. In furtherance of black people, undeterred, no matter what the media may write.
As long as you we not there it's easy to speculate, but the townships felt it more than anyone did and it's best to get a true story from them, your so called heroes ran away when people died in front of our eyes with no media to cover it, this are wounds that will never heal

I think it was more the sanctions. The rabble rousers were getting absolutely nowhere.
No truer words have been spoken. It was the resistance of the black, coloured, indians and whites that did the work. It will be us again that bring down this corrupt incompetent ANC.
