ANC implodes while blaming White people for SA’s ongoing problems

ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula showed the ANC’s true colours when he was recently heard saying that banks in SA should be nationalised and that farmland should be redistributed.

Not only will this be a disaster, but the way in which Mbalula blamed Whites for the absolute failures of his party regarding job creation was despicable.

The loud and proud Mbalula uttered the unthinkable when he said that Whites still control the economy and that “you don’t see unemployed White people”...I personally know quite a few!

He is basically saying that Whites need to suffer in the name of ‘redress’, whilst his cadres keep looting the state, supporting draconian regimes such as the Ayatolla from Iran and doing naval exercises with the US’ greatest rivals!
