BREAKING: ANC SIYANQOBA RALLY FLOPS

The ANC Siyanqoba rally did not entirely flop, but it did not meet expectations ¹:

• The rally was a hive of activity, but the FNB stadium in Nasrec, Johannesburg, looked half-empty while President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered the party’s final message ahead of the elections.
• Thousands of supporters gathered outside the stadium, some consuming alcohol and listening to loud music.
• The event was marred by a mishap when a recorded interview with former President Thabo Mbeki was played during the singing of the national anthem, announcing his hospitalization.
• Scores of supporters continued to leave the stadium while Ramaphosa was speaking.
