In a surprising turn of events, a video has surfaced on social media suggesting that the African National Congress (ANC) orchestrated a staged defection event, raising questions about the authenticity of claimed Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) members joining the ANC.
The video shows a BMW dropping off new Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) t-shirts, which were then distributed to individuals the ANC alleges are former EFF supporters defecting to the ANC. The move has ignited controversy, with allegations that the ANC rented a crowd to create the appearance of a significant shift in political allegiance.
Social media platforms buzzed with discussions as the video circulated, prompting widespread criticism of the ANC’s tactics. The authenticity of the claimed defections is now under scrutiny, and concerns have been raised about the use of a luxury car, the BMW, to deliver the new EFF t-shirts.
A Twitter user, @AKINBUNMIA, commented on the situation, stating, “These allegations suggest the ANC orchestrated a staged defection event, using a BMW to distribute new EFF t-shirts to individuals they claim are former EFF supporters joining the ANC, raising questions about the authenticity of the claimed defections.”
The ANC is yet to respond to these allegations, and as the video continues to garner attention, the controversy surrounding the supposed defections and the tactics employed by the ANC is likely to intensify. The incident underscores the highly charged political atmosphere in the country as parties vie for support ahead of upcoming elections.
