Watch: ‘We’ll take our votes to the DA‚ finish and klaar‚’ Tshwane protesters threaten
They didn’t want their faces to be seen‚ but weren’t scared to have their voices heard.
A group of disgruntled bandanna-wearing African National Congress supporters in Tshwane used those voices to threaten to vote for the Democratic Alliance (DA) should the ruling party not go back on its pick of Thoko Didiza as its mayoral candidate.
“No Sputla‚ no votes. We’ll take our votes to the DA‚ finish and klaar‚” one woman screams.
“We say phantsi ngo Didiza phantsi . We don’t want her‚” chimes in another. “Phambili ngo Sputla phambili know our street names? She can’t even pronounce it‚” a voice of a man is heard shouting off-camera.
Another makes reference to President Jacob Zuma’s controversial KwaZulu-Natal homestead: “We don’t want Nkandla here. They must take it to Natal. This is Atteridgeville.”
On Monday and Tuesday‚ disgruntled ANC members went on a rampage‚ blocking roads with burning tyres and rocks and torching buses and trucks.
