ANC hangs on by playing Madiba card: iLIVE

Michael Mokoena, Soshanguve | 12 July, 2012 00:01

When the ANC wants to win back the hearts of supporters it plays the Mandela card ("Winnie blasts ANC", yesterday).

It is clear the present leadership is not popular among many citizens.

Its only survival is to use the Mandela family to popularise its ideas.

As much as we all like former president Nelson Mandela, some of us feel he has played his part and should be left out of politics.

It is heartbreaking to see the Mandela name being used in disruptive and unruly rallies .
