Tribalism, ethnicity, and religious orientation hold the African people back.

Tribalism, ethnicity, and religious orientation are some of the ills that hold the African people back. These have been responsible for the deaths of many people across the African continent in different magnitude.

Unfortunately, decades later, some of Seme’s comrades in present-day South Africa have wittingly and unwittingly let him down. They have individually and collectively sustained a false narrative that some provinces vote along tribal lines and that some political parties appeal to specific ethnic groups. They do this even when facts point to the contrary. This practice negates any attempt to build the country. When such statements are made on the eve of an election, they become worrisome.

It can be tolerated when such claims are sustained by those people who are ignorant about the history of South Africa and the history of the African National Congress . What is concerning and puzzling is that some leaders in the ANC have joined the bandwagon to push this dangerous narrative. A quick reflection on the history of the ANC would have led him to a different conclusion. For years KZN has remained the ANC’s biggest province – with the Eastern Cape coming second. Even when the Eastern Cape was replaced by Mpumalanga province recently in position two and was pushed to position three, KZN still retained the number one spot. EThekwini has been the ANC’s biggest region nationally for years. These facts debunk the claim that KZN votes along tribal lines.
