In South Africa, the poor feel betrayed by ruling ANC party
Poor, marginalized South Africans are increasingly protesting policy failings and corruption in the ANC, only to be met with police repression.
After suffering under apartheid's institutional racism, poor, marginalized blacks now have a litany of complaints about the ANC, including authorities' use of live ammunition to suppress antigovernment protests.
"People say under the previous government of white people, apartheid was affecting people, but at least we had jobs and water and things," Mabona said. "But with this government, we only get freedom. We don't get anything else."
