Electoral Court Must Dismiss ANC Delay Tactics with Contempt
28 August 2021
South Africans and the Electoral Court must dismiss the ANC’s attempts to increase the likelihood of delays to the coming Local Government Elections with the contempt they deserve.
The ANC intends to delay the coming election by approaching the Electoral Court with a frivolous allegation – that the Electoral Commission of South Africa’s (IEC) registration system was not up to standard. This is despite the ANC Deputy Secretary-general, Jessie Duarte, exalting their submission of candidate lists in a grand press conference on Tuesday.
The vague and embarrassing claim is nothing other than an attempt to hide the truth. The truth is that the ANC fears the coming local government election. They fear these elections because South Africans have grown gatvol of the ANC criminal enterprise.
South Africans are gatvol of the ANC’s corruption, looting and cadre deployment; tired of their load-shedding and service delivery failures across the country; gatvol of rising unemployment and poverty whilst ANC cadres enrich themselves; tired of crime and lawlessness; and gatvol of the gross incompetence of a government that is not committed to public service.
