From the BLF’s ‘land or death’ to the ATM’s death penalty stance being that God will do the hanging, small parties’ votes aren't adding up to much
Controversial small party leaders, including disgraced former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng and Andile Mngxitama, could become the biggest losers of the general elections.
Mngxitama is also no stranger to controversy and has fiercely defended controversy-prone former president Jacob Zuma and his personal friends, the Guptas, who were at the centre of state-capture allegations. On Monday, he vowed to appeal against the Equality Court’s verdict that found the BLF’s slogan of “land or death” to be hate speech. The court ordered the BLF to remove the slogan from its regalia, social media accounts and website, and issue a written apology to South Africans within a month.
