It has been an interesting 8 months, watching the political parties campaign and making all sorts of promises across South Africa. Now we wait and see the voters do the talking.
Many people felt as though all the parties had the same message and they make the same promises they failed to keep.
Now we know that almost all the parties used Mandela to try and get to the voters, take a look at this:

Our own President, Jacob Zuma said that Mandela said we should not vote DA
Mmusi Maimane said they (DA) represent Mandela's interests
Julius Malema said Mandela gave us a weapon and if we used it there would not be a shed of blood. Malema even said people say they vote for ANC because of their love for Madiba, but voting for ANC is voting for Zuma and those are two different men.
Nelson Mandela himself said if he dies he would open an ANC branch in heaven
So this is what the society thinks:
Phila Jentile said people think that Mandela was the God of Africa and they can get anything they want using his name.
Lilian Msibi political parties who use Madiba are weak and are not creative, she says they should just let him RIP.
And instead of convincing the voters, they are fighting over who should use Madibas name to campaign. Cheap politics in this indeed.
