SA on slippery precipice as 2019 polls loom large

-

South Africa will be sailing into turbulent and treacherou­s waters as the 2019 general elections loom.

The unsinkable ANC Titanic has struck the 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 selfdestru­cting, as it is ripped apart at the seams. It cannot be salvaged as the tide of loyalty rapidly evaporates.

The DA lifeguard is about to implode from within in an act of selfimmola­tion. It 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 the volatile situation, thereby toxifying the political landscape.

Political instabilit­y could envelope the land. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Farouk Araie, Benoni
