(Parliamentary debate: Motion of no confidence in Cabinet)
A motion of no confidence in the Cabinet will hardly succeed seeing as people will not vote against their own incompetence. However, it is just a matter of time before the ANC is replaced as government. And that includes Cabinet.
The ANC is reminiscent of a pirate ship with a large crew and enough space to stow all the looted goods.
The reason for the large crew was evident at the ANC's National Conference (Nasrec) in 2017 when the ANC's Top Six were clearly divided into two equal camps.
The same is true for the current inflated Cabinet where the ANC had to strike a balance to accommodate all the various factions in the party. From the SACP, Cosatu, The Women's League, military veterans and the youth to the Radical Economic Transformation (RET) faction.
For the ANC it is not about the best person for the job, but about who needs to be accommodated to maintain the delicate balance.
The ANC wants to make it appear as if South Africa is doing great, but reality paints a different picture. The country’s economic decline and unemployment are evidence enough.
Add to that the failure of small-business-enterprise development, decaying infrastructure, roads riddled with potholes, and train lines and stations that are literally being destroyed and carried away piece by piece.
But like his Cabinet colleagues, the Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, sees no problem and believes that the government is faring extremely well.
Furthermore, the ANC boasts about its supposed achievements, including winning every political battle as government. That is, however, its biggest fallacy seeing as it has already lost the war.
This war is waged for the heart and trust of the country's voters. But it has been lost because for the ANC it is all about power and retaining as much of it as possible with no regard for voters.
The ruling party no longer has anything to offer the people of South Africa. Polls clearly indicate that voters have lost faith in the party. This is the ANC's swansong.
