As the countdown to South Africa's upcoming elections draws near, the political arena has become a stage for rhetoric promises, where candidates vie for the attention and support of the electorate.
However, amidst the flurry of speeches and manifestos, certain statements uttered by politicians have raised eyebrows and sparked concern amongst citizens.
For instance, Herman Mashaba made a controversial statement about how under ActionSA’s leadership, people will only be allowed to retire when they die. Then there’s Gayton Mckenzie from Patriotic alliance who said he will cut off life support from all illegal foreigners.
