Poverty, inequality, unemployment, and corruption are some of the many serious issues that South Africans are dealing with, with many of them blaming the government’s stomach politics for the current crisis.<\/p>\n

Although the ANC is united in purpose and that purpose is to retain political power as far as possible, the masses are angry and have heard enough of the government.<\/p>\n

Currently, Soweto residents are dealing with power outages, and they believe that no one is to blame but Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe. In November 2021, Mantashe accused Eskom of being the biggest opposition to the ANC, and before then, he denounced the power utility’s plan to transition to greener energy and vowed to build more coal-fired power stations.<\/p>\n

During an interview with eNCA, one of the residents dragged Mantashe and asked the news reporter if she has seen the size of his (Mantashe’s) stomach, citing that it is big due to the people’s votes that put him in power.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The angry resident adds that Mantashe was thin when he came into power but now has a big stomach, and utters that they are tired of living in the dark due to the lack of service delivery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although the resident’s anger is understandable, the masses are finding it funny that he used Mantashe’s stomach as an example in his . Some are wondering how Mantashe represents poor people who are living in poverty and growing thinner every day whilst he lives a luxurious life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opinion<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Eskom is partly sitting in debts it cannot afford therefore Mantashe should be using his position to get his government to pay their outstanding electricity accounts countrywide. <\/span><\/p>\n

The people are angry. It is vitally important that the government understands the economy and in particular what is going on in the townships. There must be assurances of contingency plans being in place. <\/span><\/p>\n
