BLF's Mngxitama blames media for his poor performance at the polls SAElections2019 ElectionResults | ntwaagae
Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama has blamed the media for his party's dismal showing at the polls so far.
Mngxitama also blamed his detractors for having wasted his campaigning time by dragging him and his party to court. The party had previously approached the IEC appealing the decision of the chief electoral officer's decision to have the BLF registered as a political party,"Voices such as the Black First Land First must not be heard. We are banned everywhere. We are banned largely in the media. I can't speak at Wits University. I was invited by the students and the university said no, I can't speak. As I speak to you right now, my Twitter account has been shut down.
"The media has not been helping us. The media should have went on its own and said to them, you can't promise people and not do it and come back and campaign and not give people land." on Monday, the BLF leader said he hoped his party garnered enough votes for 10 seats in the National Assembly.
