Mbeki Visits Unruly Eastern Cape

Despite being it’s ‘ancestral homeland’ and pouring lots of money into the area the Eastern Cape continues to be a problem child for the ANC. ANC infighting is so rife that three of the six largest municipalities still do not have mayors(!) despite municipal elections being held six months ago. It took less than a month for the DA to rustle up a very politically diverse coalition to elect Helen Zille as mayor of Cape Town, while the Eastern Cape ANC branch can’t decide amongst themselves who to choose without the ensuing screaming match.

It’s getting so bad Thabo Mbeki has to personally fly down and hand out a few verbal snotklaps to try and get everyone to do what they were elected to do.

Meanwhile, I suppose, there are hardly any people left in that hellhole to give a continental, having happily settled in the province next-door, complete with cattle. The money you mentioned should be poured into the Western Cape, pronto.
