The ANC's war against integrity and honest politics

If you thought the 2016 local government elections brought the worst out of our politicians, wait for the 2019 general elections which are approaching much faster than any elections before.

The chilling revelations of the allegations that the ANC employed a “war room” to win over the public opinion ahead of the local government elections in 2016 is an indication that given an opportunity to lie or fix something that is wrong, political parties would most likely opt to lie.

This is because the idea of fixing real problems on the ground seems more demanding than employing some amateurish public relations tactics based on misinformation about the opposition political parties. Indeed the once mighty, unassailable ANC is at war, but it’s at war against integrity and honest politics.
