Jacob Zuma’s ANC has abandoned Madiba's values and vision
2 August 2016
The Democratic Alliance is on the cusp of achieving something incredible and historic in tomorrow’s election. We know it will be extremely tight, and we know that every vote will count.
Our message to voters in this crucial final 24 hours is simple: There is only one party in South Africa today that honestly strives to take the country forward, to build the future we all hope for. There is only one party in South Africa today that truly represents the values and vision that Madiba lived out. That party is the Democratic Alliance.
That is obviously a difficult truth for the ANC to come to terms with. I understand that. But it doesn’t make it any less true.
The ANC of today has become, in the words of Former President Thabo Mbeki,“an ignoble and corrupt parasite”, that governs only for the interests of the well-connected few, not for the poor and not for the unemployed. As Former President Kgalema Motlanthe said just this weekend, the ANC is without leadership, and is in a race to the bottom that risks leaving nothing to salvage.
