Letter: Stop behaving like the EFF, ANC

23 August 2016 - 09:28 By Tom Mhlanga

After losing the Tshwane metro to the DA, the ANC should have shown that this was not the end of the world.We have seen from the EFF that not taking part in the democratic processes of government is a bad option.We are a democratic country and elections are part and parcel of it.Having operated for more than 104 years, and debates being the life blood of the organisation, the ANC should set an example for other, smaller parties.The party should assess why its performance dropped rather than behaving like the EFF. All is not lost and there is still time to rectify these shortcomings.Tom Mhlanga, Braamfontein..
