Time for misguided loyalty is over: iLIVE

Violent riots erupted in Zamdela township, next to Sasolburg. Such protests have once again become standard in South Africa.

Johnny Sebothuma said in his letter yesterday that he sees nothing wrong with the violent protests in Sasolburg and that for grievances to be heard, this is what people will do.

The problem is that he and his fellow protesters know very well how to burn, fight and loot, but they don't know how to vote this government out.

They will continue to put their cross for the ANC in misguided loyalty to the struggle.

There is a new struggle and it is time they realised that.
