JOHANNESBURG – In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, the Democratic Alliance (DA) is seeing red over the ANC’s alleged use of State Organs in their political ads. It’s a case of political pot, kettle, and some sour grapes thrown into the mix.

While the DA could’ve played detective with the same State Organs, they’re busy perfecting their art of selective concern. Reports suggest they’re more focused on perfecting their synchronized eye rolls than unveiling ANC’s political fallacies.

As the political ping pong continues, the big question remains: Do the ANC’s ads violate IEC policies or South African laws? We’re on the edge of our seats, but then again, so is the DA, waiting for the ANC to step on a political banana peel.

In another riveting episode, the #VoteLikeABok campaign organizers claim that major parties are playing hard to get. Despite multiple WhatsApps, emails, and social media comments, the DA, ANC, EFF, and IFP seem to be in a collective game of political hide and seek. Rumour has it they’ve mastered the art of ghosting faster than a Tinder match after a bad joke.

Adding to the drama, none of the political parties, except perhaps the ones living under rocks, seem to have condemned the ANC’s use of State Organs. The DA, in particular, is sweating bullets, worried the ANC will score political points. It’s like a political game of chess, but with more drama and fewer coherent moves.

Meanwhile, the DA is not just crying wolf; they’re auditioning for the lead role in a political opera. Overreacting like they just heard the last R5 coin is going out of circulation, the DA is also conveniently avoiding conversations with organizations eager to educate voters.

In the grand theatre of South African politics, where every move is a plot twist, the ANC may have shot themselves in the foot. With failed state-owned entities contributing to service delivery problems, it’s like bringing a rubber chicken to a sword fight.

Stay tuned as the political saga unfolds, and remember, in the world of South African politics, the drama never takes a holiday. It’s politics but with more popcorn and a lot less logic.
