Coalition is a better bet

Many of us would support an EFF-DA coalition government after the 2019 election in the hope of getting better governance, if only to be rid of the ANC government.

We are angry with the ANC because it has allowed an incompetent president to continue to ruin this country through his association with crooked men and women who are looting SA of its resources, which are meant to be shared by the many and not the few.

There is nothing presidential about the man Archbishop Desmond Tutu once described as “disgraceful”. President Jacob Zuma has brought dishonour to one of the oldest liberation movements in the world.

With him at the helm it is not surprising that many good comrades have walked away from the once glorious ANC. That description is now a misnomer and anachronistic.

Zuma is incapable of taking responsibility for his actions, which have taken this country to the precipice.

Under his leadership SA is facing serious economic and political woes, yet he remains cynically blase, continuing to giggle as if to say to poor South Africans “let them eat cake”.

Millions of South Africans, young and old, are unemployed, while Zuma enjoys the good life. South Africans must not allow him to get away with it. He must be ejected from the comfort of the Union Buildings. We need better.
