Anger, not hope in South African township

[Jetboogieman]

Burning tyres litter the streets; every road is blockaded with piles of large rocks, thick black smoke fills the air, the sound of rubber bullets is followed by loud screams - this South African township is alive and its anger is spilling over.

Hundreds of people march up and down the streets of Siyathemba township in the northern Mpumalanga province in the week that the country marks 20 years since Nelson Mandela was freed from prison.

BBC News - Anger, not hope in South African township

This story is close to my heart. As a South African I am drawn to the conclusion that the ANC (African National Congress - Ruling party) is no longer fit to lead. They have become way too accustomed to power. They are a bunch of corrupt, money grabbing liars who dont give a crap about their brothers and sisters who live in the shacks. They have abandoned Mandela's Legacy, who saved our country from the brink of disaster, and shredded it.

And don't even get me started on President Zuma. He's the most corrupt of them all. Amazing how we go from Great Leader and humanitarian Nelson Mandela. Fast Forward almost 20 years later and we're stuck with a complete imbosile that it defies imagination. My country is screwed until the population votes the ANC out of power, or at least allows for the country to have an effective opposition until then.
