ANC juggernaut sinking

-

SA will be sailing into turbulent and treacherou­s waters as the 2019 general election looms ominously over the horizon. The apparently unsinkable ANC Titanic has struck the Jacob Zuma iceberg and is rapidly flounderin­g on the rocks as survivors desperatel­y race to reach tribal and geographic­al safe havens.

The ANC juggernaut is rapidly self-destructin­g, ripping itself apart at the seams. It cannot be salvaged as the tide of loyalty rapidly evaporates.

The DA lifeguard is also imploding from within, an act of self-immolation. It too cannot be rescued as it will be reduced to political ashes. The EFF will continue to stoke the fires of hell with its high-octane demagoguer­y, which will only serve to exacerbate a volatile situation.

No outright victor will emerge; the smaller parties will be vanquished. SA will be propelled into a new political dimension, the likes of which we have never seen before.

Be very afraid as the 2019 election approaches, accompanie­d by furious political storms.
