The ANC is a JOKE! Gwede Mantashe Actually Said THIS!

South Africa’s political theatre just delivered another tragicomic performance — this time starring ANC heavyweight Gwede Mantashe. In this video, we break down the laughable yet deeply depressing statement from Mantashe, who told party members to “be ethical” and not “take money that isn’t yours”… while standing atop a mountain of decades-long cadre corruption.

We unpack the hypocrisy of a government that speaks of ethics while enabling nepotism, inefficiency, and systemic looting. From Ramaphosa’s failed 2018 anti-corruption promise to the ANC’s desperate PR attempts to save face ahead of 2026, this is another reminder that the joke is always on us — the citizens.

This video is equal parts satire and sobering reality. So laugh with us… and maybe cry a little too.
