Action SA leader Herman Mashaba paints a grim picture of what a future South Africa will look like if the African National Congress (ANC) is not unseated in this year’s historic national elections. He predicts that the country will become a failed State - and says Zimbabwe will look like a Sunday school picnic by comparison. He speaks to BizNews after yet another fire gutted yet another hijacked building in Johannesburg where failing infrastructure has also resulted in gas explosions and excessive flood damage. “…if this government is elected back into power in South Africa, then we must accept it's going to become… another failed African state…I can assure you, when we fail, Zimbabwe will look like a Sunday school picnic.”
