Former Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip has said the African National Congress was not equipped to develop the economy because of its embrace of communist principles.
He also took the opportunity to swipe at president Cyril Ramaphosa, saying the president’s reaction to many revelations was to say he was “shocked”, as if he hadn’t been in the country for the past 25 years. “Why would you vote for him as a president when he’s been the deputy president when all the things he now says are shocking were happening under his watch? It’s like he was not in South Africa, it’s like he is a visitor here,” said Trollip.“For the last five years, SACP have been there with ANC, like a parasite that sucks the cow where it hurts the most, but today the SACP is putting up posters calling for voters to turn South Africa around,” said Trollip.
And not while they remain short term thinkers
Is Trollip still a mayor?
