Protesters burnt buses and set tires on fire to barricade roads in South Africa’s capital on Tuesday after the ANC named a mayoral candidate not nominated by the ruling party’s regional branches.
The violence spread overnight from the townships and started after a member of the ANC was shot dead on Sunday as factions clashed at a meeting in Pretoria to decide on the candidates for mayor of Tshwane municipality where Pretoria is located.
The ANC then named senior party member and former cabinet minister, Thoko Didiza, as its candidate for Tshwane, saying that it made the decision after wrangling between members at the party’s headquarters over who should lead the municipality.
Residents want the incumbent mayor, Kgosientso Ramokgopa, to be allowed to run on the ANC ticket, TV station eNCA reported, but in an interview with the 24-hour news channel, Ramokgopa backed Didiza’s selection and called for calm. The ANC said its members were not to blame for the violence.
“This is not a result of the nomination of the mayor in Tshwane, it’s thuggery,” ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe told eNCA.-The Standard Digital News

These protesters would have better vented their disapproval and anger to the ANC party officials than vandalising property belonging to ordinary citizens. This act of violence is uncalled for in this 21st century.I appeal to the protesters to abandon the streets for ANC offices for the party’s hierachy to address their grievances.

Thanks to Malawian Citizens for their calmness when it comes to protesting BUT the best appreciation for the Government to its citizens is to deliver to the nation honestly. God bless Malawi.
malawians are not calm, we are Stupid,its a Fact.If we were clever-we would not allow Thieves,Liars run our affairs.Take the two Deputy Speakers ,for examples,They stole House rentals,but they are enjoying life and we clap hands for the Thieves.Do you see that Nosense ?
