ANC Torn Apart On Social Media After Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony For Outside Toilet [Images]

The ANC is being dragged by social media users, after images of their ribbon-cutting ceremony for an outside toilet did the rounds.

Dear lord, why?

It’s pretty embarrassing when the New York Times goes to town on your party, and it’s also pretty embarrassing when you’re on the receiving end of a Twitter bashing of note.

Social media users are putting the party on blast after it took its election efforts to Vhembe, Limpopo last week, which included an absurd ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Hey, I like a nice ribbon-cutting ceremony like everyone else. For a toilet, though? ANC, we have to question your logic here.

Per a report by The Citizen, ANC provincial deputy chairperson Florence Radzilani [pictured cutting the ribbon], who is also the mayor of Vhembe, conducted a toilet-handover ceremony on Friday, July 6:

Photoshopped, these pics are not.

The official ANC Twitter account uploaded these pics, and … ja, talk about hanging a carrot in front of a rabbit.

Some tweeps took the mickey out of the party:

Others took some savage swipes at them:

Like the last tweep, I feel like laughing and crying over this entire debacle.

On Facebook, there’s a mixed bag of comments from the ANC critics:

Some discussed the costs of such a prestigious event:

Hmm, I’m sure Naomi Campbell has got more important things to do with her life than entertain the ANC’s kak, like designing a fashion line.

Others thought the toilets were great, just not the actual ceremony itself:

Exactly. We’ve seen a number of tragic deaths in recent times involving children falling into latrine pits, so kudos for tackling that problem. The fanfare around it, however, just seems like a desperate clamour for votes.

Others just took the ANC to town:

You might say that after this fiasco, ANC’s efforts to swing votes in their favour has gone down the toilet.
