- South Africa's general election is set for May 29. There is a strong sense here that the result will be a game changer. The African National Congress has ruled for 30 years, but now it's facing its toughest electoral fight yet. A growing number of South Africans are dissatisfied with the state the country is in and they blame the ANC: the key actor in bringing about South Africa's freedom after dark years of oppressive white minority rule.

ANC really failed South Africa 🇿🇦,,
Zuma failed our country
Nah South Africa failed South Africa.. why do you keep voting for your abuser??
@@joanmahlatjie3070you don't know what you are talking about
@@heralds5662 all these problems started with Zuma regime, load shedding, corruption, unemployment, incompetence of state officials started with Zuma regime. Remember Guptas 🤷🏾♂️
@@heralds5662 put malema in ofice
Like if you think the ANC is corrupt and want them out of government and power
Down with ANC!
Go other partys
ANC inherited power from the National Party in 1994. They treated it as a spoil of war, which it was to a great extent. The leadership was more concerned with securing the benefits of the new order for themselves than bettering the nation as a whole.
Vote for anything besides the anc
Pray for EFF
Viva ANC
Rescue South Africa from the criminals. Vote DA😁👍🏻👍🏻
@@user-dr9it8xj9e Where's the ONE school that was promised 5 years ago? Speak about a sterling track record...
@@alkebulanafricanconversati1728 Viva ANC? Please no.
Under ANC rule (been for 30 years now) we now in 2024 have >28K murders a year, 1/5 children go to bed without food, over 120 rapes/day meaning thousands each year, 80% of grade 5 students can't read for meaning, near daily electricity blackouts that started in 2007 costing the economy BILLIONS, state capture, corruption, 100s of denied farm murders, water shortages because of mismanagement and NOT drought, CHOLERA outbreak in 2023, children dying in PIT TOILETS (again this is 2023!), near 70% youth unemployment, etc.
We are experiencing ALL the symptoms of being at war, yet we aren't in one.
The establishment wants the ANC to win to maintain the status quo.
The establishment vs The people.
The people have been voting for the ANC for three decades. WTF are you talking about, zot?
Why didn't they show Malema of EFF leading chants of "kill the boer"
Like how the didnt mention that cops went into townships to stop the violence between the ANC and its rivals. Its like they wanted to paint white people as just cold blooded killers and didnt mention a single thing about the many lives lost due to ANC hands. Fking woke race agenda with DW it seems.
Don’t worry no one is voting for EFF
Malema went quiet since he was poesklapped by a high school boy. He is more involved with his own economic freedom at the moment.
Everything went wrong when the ANC elected Zuma. The latter ascended to the highest office on the back of rape and 330 corruption charges. He single handedly hollowed up SARS, all parastals, NPA, chapter 9 institutions, law enforcement agencies and the intelligency.
Those are just lies concocted by white media, to this day he has not been successfully convicted of those crimes you speak about we have a President currently who is accused of tax evasion yet he is not attacked the same way Zuma was
330 charges for what?
Are you real?
Mbeki instructed the smearing of Zuma. He wanted 3rd term, despite his false charges, Zuma beat him in Polokwane, even after he had fired him as DP. Mbheki will die a bitter man that the people love Zuma , second only to Mandela.
Even thief, Dictator Mandela will fail despite his methods to o deny MK/Zuma airwaves thus rendering the elections not free and fair.
The people do not eat the Israeli case - they water and electricity.
Look at GDP growth and how it fell off a cliff with Zuma from 2010…
Things were already wrong...Zuma may have just accelerated it. Currently corrupt individuals as well a very negative history of oppression and plunder.
Absolutely however there has been acceleration of that deep decline in past six years, the destruction of the country has been perfected in the last six years in all those areas that you have just raised.
The ANC were the driving force behind liberating South Africa from apartheid. Nelson Mandela was one of the most impressive leaders in world history.
But it's not good for any country to have the same political party in charge all the time. That's something that is far from unique to South Africa. And often times periods in oppostion can rejuvenate parties that have grown stale in government.
You're absolutely correct. This period is a really critical part of South Africa's political development. The Peaceful election and transition of power to an opposition party(and maintaining minority rights after transition) is the pinnacle test for democratic institutions.
_That's something that is far from unique to South Africa._
No. It is very much unique for the SAME political party to be reelected with outright majorities in a proportional representation electoral system in free and fair elections for THIRTY years. That is very, very rare indeed!
@@Patmorgan235Us Whether it happens this time or not, I hope it goes well for South Africa whenever it happens
Yes..don't vote ANC
They stole everything.They’ll probably try steal this video too!
They did not steal everything don’t lie.
Check how people live in ANC run areas
30 years of failure..
For 30 years, nothing new has been build, still the same old South Africa, thanks to ANC.
If you travel to Kenya, Angola, Tanzania and Ethiopia, you can see the progress.
Failure for whom? Everything in the country had to be shared with the entire population and not just serve the white minority. So for many, life got better.
@@merrick6484failure for who?
What?! The first roughly 10 years were fine and even better than fine. It was when the Zuma faction took over and started raping everything that things fell apart.
@@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu The first 10 years comes off an inherited well functioning state. The ANC managed to use those institutions well for those 10 years but sadly, destroyed it in the process.
Time to vote the ANC out!
We need to have changes. Too long, too late.
Our last weekend under the ANC.
What are you talking about? ANC+MK =ANC.
Very simple arithmetic.
Please, God. Save us from the criminals 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@dannyarcher6370 As long as the acronym ANC is out, we'll deal with the rest after.
You forgot to add "this term" at the end of your sentence. They are surely coming back for the seventh.
Mandela doesnt have anything to do with modern ANC, stop tarnishing his memory!!! He would be embarassed
All the current leaders were his comrades. No new blood. It was never about liberation, just power.
The last of the Mandela era left right after Zuma started raping everything in 2007.
Malema = Mugabe and therefore RSA = Zimbabwe..
"Every time the ANC was umder attack, it came out stronger"
The ANC has been loosing support at the polls since 2014, and every time they said its a "wake up call".
Seems like you've pressed the snooze button too many times already.
If these party out of ANC willing to serve People genuinely Why they don't join Forces and combine for. One opposition apart or except DA. There is UDM , COPE and EFF I'. only talking oy these three why but they say say they say want to work for the people.. it is woo now there's a other one MK which still wants for it's own...I don't agree they are the for the people...
Lol. The ANC thinking they're going to get an overwhelming majority. Like I always say: Those in power are usually the last to realise they've lost it.
Plot twist, we don't have loadshedding anymore 😂
It will return on 30th May 😅
For now...
ANC izophatha
@@joanmahlatjie3070 Really? So far they don't seem to be managing at all.
30 May laoding my friend.....
Load shedding after elections
food shedding coming soon
@@janviljoen-rm8zsWater shedding isnt far off either.
@@Hannodb1961 joburg has far reaching water problems . not even drinkable water for 24 years from taps. marxist failed state like frelimo
What is impressive about South Africa is the conduct of credible elections. That basic standard has yet to achieved in many other African countries. Great informative piece and an outstanding intellectual contribution at 21:09 onward from Dr Sithembile Mbete.
Dr Sithembile Mbete gave a good view on the achievements ANC government made as well as the failures.
And the fact that we don’t have strong opposition parties with a plan on how they will fix South Africa, everybody keeps on pointing on the failures of ANC
Please give us a concrete plan on how you intend to fix these issues.
I’m deeply disappointed that tomorrow is my 3rd time voting and for the first time I don’t know who to vote 😢for
@@loucadoida3327 Making a choice by casting a vote is by far better than not voting at all. I recommend you use whatever means to decide. Your best bet might be your "gut feel" if you feel your gut has wisdom. Alternatively do some quick research! Which candidates tick off the most boxes that resonate with what you sense might be the right vision for the future? Good luck.
The ANC focused on prioritising Corruption, uncontrolled immigration and forgot about empowering previously disadvantaged South Africans,
Our cities have been turned into African slums, full of crime, unemployment,illegal immigrants and inequality!
We need Herman Mashaba to fix South Africa!
ANC is not Mandela's, he was a member of the ANC
Let's hope we're finally entering a true democracy!
Thanks to McKinsey & Co. for helping the Gupta brothers take advantage of South Africa.
ANC is very innovative they really think outside the box when it comes to corruption schemes 😂😂!
Vote DA
Thank you for showing the DA advert because the SABC wont.
It hasn't been Mandela's ANC for a very very long time
The journalist hasn't done her homework; there are a lot of mistakes in this article.
Woah this was actually good.
It's time for the ANC to pack and go!
Stop throwing her unto the street. Stop dragging people from a to z
The real question should be, what happened to the living conditions of people who once believed the ANC would make the lives of people better?...we care less about what happened to ANC and rather care about lives of people who believed the ANC and luckily it's only a matter of days until it looses power 🔥
Point of correction, South Africa has the largest economy presently followed by Egypt
A failing economy
Actually i think its Nigeria but Egypt is a close one. Either way, our GDP is around 375 ish Billion, the NHI this useless government just imposed on us will cost us 200billion a year to finance. Its going to destroy the tax payer and worsen poverty like never before.
I would like to know where Ms Mbete has been the past month. Most likely on a university exchange in Istanbul, as she clearly has not been following the policy and manifesto presentations and/or campaigns of any opposition party in this election. Her vote is clearly destined for the ANC. Without their blessing, she would not have had the position she currently (attempts to) occupy. After 29 May........have a happy day in ANC fairy land lady!!
correction its not 8 hours without power it can go from 12 to 24 hours at its worse
21:27 - WTF is she talking about? Inequality is now the highest in the world.
Thanks to foreigners for that
@@Motswako Which foreigners, mfwethu? The ones that work harder than you? Those foreigners?
Things are about to change, I can feel it ♥It's going down for the better 🙏
That was a very insightful series of interviews.
It's confirmed!! South African's National IQ test will be written on 29 May.
Why do you think that SA 's base manufacturing sector is that of GERMANY ? VW , DAIMLER , BMW , BOSCH , etc ?
it will be fascinating to see if South Africans will punish the ANC on the ballot on May 29th
21:00 that man is going somewhere. I’d love an update on how it goes for him.
Great segment. Well done DW.
The fact that it's not less than 10% for them is quite infuriating. South Africans are not angry enough. What state must the country be in for us to wake up, Congo, Sudan, Libya type states maybe?
love for SA from Bangladesh
Love you too!
How can the Western Cape keep up providing housing and services like sewage, electricity and housing considering an influx of tens of thousands of people migrating from the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape, Cape Town in particular, in search for employment which in any case they are more likely to find there than back home. Notwithstanding the influx of people unemployment in the Western Cape is getting less.
Idol Worship doesn't do anyone any good
No one cares about forreign policy when everything at home falls apart.
"Alas, poor country, less our mother than our grave, where none is seen to smile save he who knows NOTHIING!" -quite a lot of those here.
You can't hope for change it has to be done
10:00 he lies like all of the anc
“We don’t have electricity”
*shows tv with soccer game on*
Wat means
I'm real scared of the corruption that will come with the land in south africa 🇿🇦
8 hours a day???? certain parts like where I live we had 3 sessions of load shedding a day, 4 hours each...
That is load curtailment because your municipality cannot afford to pay eskak. Not Eskak fault. Your fault. Pay your bills.
The fact that we the people still believe in savoirs is our poverty.
Excellent analysis from Dr Mbete as someone who grew up during apartheid can relate
The National Party, CODESA and Sunset clauses. Ayikho that difficult le Q.
South Africa needs God.
Fun fact, the biggest of the 9 provinces is bigger than Germany per square metres/mile.
Fun fact Germany's biggest province (state) produces on its own far more economic value than the whole of South Africa with less land & less natural resources.
People Wii get surprise
Please correct the story
Not factual
Sadly they will still win.
Politicians have quite a short memory,as quick as they win,they would be as quick as to which is the biggest heist to hit next
Well it made those well connected to ANC rich.
I like the woman interviewed at the tail end of the piece. Her assessment and analysis is the same as mine. She didn’t tip over into the useless pro/anti dichotomy that too often is used as a substitute for actual analysis. Good interview questions as well.
We can be so much more. We need leaders with higher standards.
Is there any country more obsessed with looking back in a comparative way at its watershed moment than South Africa?
Do Indians constantly obsess over what Indians have accomplished since 1947? Do Ghanaians constantly whine about how their current situation is result of colonialism 60 years after the fact?
This election in SA will go down to the wire!
The ANC looks set to lose its absolute majority nationally and in multiple provinces, opening the door for a coalition government.
However the experience of coalition governments in Europe shows that even more dysfunction awaits SA if this happens.
I mean it's really sad that such a big proportion of South Africa's population does not have access to the good life and that missmanagement and corruption are partly to blame, however even if the ANC had a better track record a ruling party falling below 50% after 30 years in power was just to be expected in the context of political normalization.
16:45 "of all the parties only the EFF is expected to grow". Hogwash. The EFF will provably remain where it is and the DA will grow most like by several points. Then the PA and parties formed in the last 2 years are also expected to grow / explode on the scene.
The rise mzansi gentleman has a good head on his shoulders
The housing issues in western cape are a victim of its own success. Becausee conditions are better there , people move there, because they move there it puts pressure on the housing systems and services. Western cape also urgently needs to address its water situation.
Mbete is pro ANC political analyst and not impartial. She didn’t say how ANC over years pushed very harmful for businesses and jobs creation policies through Parliament, destroying private property rights and therefore human rights. Western countries pointed that out to ANC and became the enemies to dictatorial party in SA. It’d be great for the ANC to become a minority in opposition to reform itself or fade away as irrelevant.
The ANC is like an abused parent that later turned against it's children's
Anc😢😢😢😢😢
No maleama??
What worries me more than anything is that the policies pushed by the parties are no longer the main focus for the electorate.
It's as if we cannot be adults anymore and judge parties on ideas, we are always grandstanding. It's a toxic political atmosphere in SA
EFF = Everything For Free
This was quite good up until half of it was just one interview with one political analyst, pretty boring listening to one person’s opinion for half al the documentary…the rest was good
In fact, "nothing happened"
Songezo Zibi is actually making sense
ANC did a lot by being open to giving opportunities to those who wants to start businesses. Yes the corruption of money.... I'm unemployed but I started my own business. It was difficult to get financed by banks. I'm getting there slowly but sure. Sometimes we have to appreciate not only criticising. We need Infrastructure development: hospitals, roads, Electricity and manufacturing. From covid to high loadshedding this became a huge setback. DA is a good part, however, perhaps more reforms should be done to attract my vote. I would rather vote for ANC or EFF.
Rise Mzansi 👍
"Vengeance Is Mine, I Will Repay, Says The Lord" Roman's 12:19 esv. When you turn your back on God.
ok
40:47 This woman doesn’t know what she’s talking about
I'm from Chad but ANC failed and time to change and another party
Malatji's statement is redundant. What about Cyril Ramaphosa who stole money? 🤷🏾♂️ Why isn't he stepping aside?
Where is yr proof
@@gloriantswaki76 come on now... are you really serious?? Carte Blanche and all other news outlets covered the story. Are you really going to be oblivious to that?? Hayi mntasekhaya tyini thiza.
16:35 I am 35 and nobody is going to hire me but when the EFF comes to power I am going to be hired.
I always ask why the EFF makes SA politics out to be a zero sum game. Now I see the EFF will make it a zero sum game.
I can only foresee coalition government in South Africa and for your information whatever will hold in South Africa is what Kenya went and still goes through. ANC fate will be like what happened to Kenya African National Union (KANU). So my fellow South Africans please learn more about the Kenyan politics as that is the likely scenario you will go through. Thank you.
Someone in authority who oppresses poor people is like a driving rain that destroys the crops
Sithembile did the CHACHA(back tracking) on the "is SA on the decline" question.. she clearly didn't want to offend her connects... get your money boo
Then Capetown must go it alone, I'll move there
Go where? Hou op dom wees.
We need the Independent Republic of the Western Cape. Under DA rule...
Jacob Zuma's popularity after all that has been revealed about him befuddles me.
Vote wisely. Dont cry when ukaka is running in your street. 😂😂😂
Its not profiteering, its pioneering.. ;-)
The political analyst is a little out of touch with the international stance on South Africa.
She seems to think a lot but know very little when it comes to dealing with the East and West.
The Democratic Alliance is the only party that has a proven ability to govern well. A vote for any other party is a vote for decline as SA progresses into becoming a failed state. People who vote for anything other than the DA are voting for their own demise 😢
