How does the ANC plan to create millions of jobs in a global economic recession while it is in an alliance with Cosatu, which regularly demands above-inflation increases that make South Africa a volatile economy for companies to operate in?

Can the ANC tell us why it delayed its e-tolling public announcement in Africa's economic nerve centre, Gauteng?

Tell us where the money for President Jacob Zuma's R200-million upgrade to the Nkandla complex is coming from, why it is necessary and what will happen to the complex when Zuma's presidential term ends?

Hold a national referendum to see who approves of e-tolls and how vehemently others oppose it. Is that not a democratic thing to do?

Sorry, ANC, I know you have a lot on your plate for Mangaung, but continue on this national administration track and you will lose voter support to the opposition that will deny you the responsibility of governing after your conference. A conference determining your policy and your leaders while your voter support evaporates further. Makes everything seem futile, hey?
