Pro-ANC argument wrong

-

While columnist Peter Bruce is persuasive in his arguments in support of the ANC, he is wrong.

It can be accepted that the ANC will win the election and that Cyril Ramaphosa will be president again. However, if that arrogant, nondeliver­ing and corrupt political organisati­on wins by a substantia­l majority, it will undoubtedl­y lead to the entrenchme­nt of the Zuma/Magashule grouping in parliament and corruption will continue.

If the ANC majority is slim, it will give pause to the corrupt. Indeed, the DA could enter into a pact with the Ramaphosa faction to continue cleaning the Augean stables of the Zuma droppings.

The alternativ­e is that the Zuma faction is joined by the EFF, Ramaphosa is deposed and his small group of honest supporters removed.
