The IEC should look to deter those who disrespect voters by promising them a world they can’t deliver

Politicians who knowingly make pie-in-the-sky promises during election campaigns should be investigated by the Independent Electoral Commission .

Making false, unachievable claims is unethical and dishonest, and intended to deliberately deceive voters, many of whom are desperate, illiterate and do not know better. It now appears that even election campaign speeches have been captured...A subscription gives you full digital access to all Sunday Times content.Registered on the BusinessLIVE, Business Day or Financial Mail websites?

Black people must wake and see that EFF must be doing something right. All these beneficiaries of BEE and EE want to see EFF going down because it scares abo Baas nabo Madam. William Gumede is a defender of the status quo.

It's world wide phenomenon. Trump promised to build a wall which will stop Mexicans from coming, but it never happened. Ramaphosa promised voters 1 million houses and 3 million jobs. The problem we have lazy academics whose sole enemy is Julius Malema.

Start with 1 million houses, what's democracy anyway?

Maybe Gumede is referring to Cyril Ramaphosa. He once promised the people of Alexander in Gauteng million houses and today his spin doctor mbalula is denying that he ever made a promise. What a wonderful world of thuma mina.

The pain they feel. One can tell the writer never did the EFFManifesto because if he did, he'd have noted the HOW detailed therein and engaged on it. This article is written for those like the writer who also never read it. Domkops

That’s the ANC for sure

But why u use malema picture u stupid

Let's that with this guy

Chest sin from racists and Settlers

DA is typically the Apartheid promising people the things they didn't fullfil during their rule of apartheid

Start with this Man

Like Cyril ramaphosa

Did CyrilRamaphosa delivered 1 million houses to the people of alexandra? You stratcom propagandists, puppets of the white monopoly capital

All the parties are guilty of lying. No better 😈

Thanks for the suggestion but why didn't you use Hellen's photo. I can send you one if you ran of pics in your archives. You must withdraw your tweet or remove our CIC's photo....you captured morons

So called democrats are the most intolerant, proving their absolute autocratic tendencies To hell with this lot and in with those they demonize as the latter are far more tolerant of criticism than this lot

Every politicians are promising big things if they want vote even ANC and DA

So why use EFFSouthAfrica pic? A party that has even donated R15m to the Solidarity Fund

They must start with the ANC for promising people of Alex 1M HOUSES.

People have been promised for years and still this promises are not met. stop this thing of involving yourself in political battles. Nothing is impossible in life.

After few drinks you decided to use Juju s Pic? What are you trying to potray?

Like Cyril Promising people of Alex 1.M houses & did nothing.

You mean this ones?.

Beware, that may disqualify every single party

Voetsek bitch*s

So the propaganda has failed, you want to use the IEC to stop them. Even if the do not promise anything we will still vote the ANC out. Make peace with it. We are sick n tired of ANC corruption

Bullshit... what is wrong with this guy?

Eh.. You are having a busy week yerrr

But Ramaphosa's picture would be more relevent for this article. We've just witnessed Covid Relief Fund looting in front of everyone after Julius_S_Malema had warned Ramaphosa. Can opinion pieces be peer reviewed before publication? This MYANC can't deliver this👇🏿

They have used a black stooge to drive this narrative that the EFF is making empty promises. The are many unfulfilled promises by the ANC since 1994 and they have become even more outrageous with Ramaphosa but they the picture of Malema for this nonsense. We won't be fooled.

People like William Gumede I don't take them serious

😂😂 But that wouldn't be pure politics coz politics in its purest sense is bs. Make the wildest promises to get to promised land

Why don't you use the pic of your lackey? Cyril

Voetsek William Gumede and Sunday Trash.

ANC is the prime perpetrator and it has being proven for over 28 years that they can't delivery, that's where the IEC should start...how do expect to punish,say EFF while they have never being given a chance to fulfill their promises

Ramaphosa promised people of Alex one million houses in 2019 and not a single house was built. Surely you don't want your favourite to be punished by the IEC for his empty promise.

Ke sure

You can't even hide that indeed are propagandist. Nci nci nci

SA media for you..🚮 Oksalayo so votela EFF

They should start with the ANC's better life for all lie, since 94'

The ANC had been promising us the world since 1994,what have they delivered? GTFOH

We are tired of racist white criminals under the banner ThumaMinaMediaGroup..We as EFF we are on the ground listening to the communities who are calling on us to sort on the mess which was done by MYANC of Ruperts, Oppenheimers & Co. in Stellenbosch. VoteEFF LandAndJobsManje

Nonsense why are you not using the pictures if the ANC that N.G.O was the one with empty promises 🚮🤔🤗

1 million houses for Alex🤷‍♂️

IECSouthAfrica , is this even allowed

Then why are you putting His excellency CIC picture not someone who promised Alexandra people 1 Million houses?

Like the 1 million houses in Alex?

That fact that Julius Malema’s picture is being used instead of Cyril Ramaphosa’s the time he was in Alexander says a lot. The ruling party is in total panic, even the media wants to rescue them. Thank you for choosing us EFFSouthAfrica VoteEFF LandAndJobsManje

Propaganda machinery

You can't say that of ANC.

Question is why do you have Malema there when he was never in power but it is Ramaphosa that promised jobs and houses but never delivered?

Why always attacking EFFSouthAfrica 🤔

Another article. 🤔

IEC rubbishes rumours that voters have to be vaccinatedIn a Twitter post on Monday, the IEC said the truth was you do not need to produce a vaccination certificate or be vaccinated to vote. Vaccination is compulsory when attending matches at stadiums, must also be the same when going to voting stations A nightmare to manage this perception. That could be a true referendum on vaccine, though. There will be close to zero no show i bet, the election results will be tossed.
