Black South Africans Should Throw The African National Congress Out Of Power

The African National Congress (ANC) could perhaps be known as the political party for Black South Africans because it worked so hard to end apartheid in that country. Since 1994 the ANC has been in power and while some elements of the lives of Black South Africans have improved, there is still much left to be done. Rather than working diligently to address the plight of these people, however, the ANC is busy playing racial politics and making corruption popular in the country. South Africa, which seemed to be an African country to be emulated, is now descending into the rot characteristic of most postcolonial African countries. However, while in many African countries elections make little difference, in South Africa the people actually have the power to throw their government out of power. I hope many poor South Africans will take this opportunity to throw the ANC out of power. A party that once appeared to stand for the people is now serving its own interest rather than that of the people. The people must demonstrate that they must not be taken for granted by throwing the ANC out of power in this coming elections.
