When you are a leader, discipline is not something that should be negotiated. You are expected to lead by example, and also the things that you do must bring dignity to your organization. But in South African politics, it seems like discipline is something that is not there. The things that South African politicians do always bring shame to their organization and also tarnish their dignity as a leader.
Especially in the African National Congress, it seems like this party is full of people who are lacking discipline. Not so long ago, there was a trending video of a comrade who was caught on a video busy grooving with slay queens at night while his wife was at home. Although politics doesn’t have anything to do with personal life, there are some things that are embarrassing for a leader.
Just when we thought we had seen it all, there was another retreading photo of African National Congress women who were half naked, showing people their back view. It is not evident where this photo was taken or who they are, but they were wearing African National Congress regalia to show that they are top leaders. See the photo below:

After this photo was posted on social media, many people were very disappointed. To see people who were supposed to be guiding the batik. Doing this Some even went on to say that these comrades must be suspended from the organization because what they are doing is bringing shame and embarrassment to the party. See some reactions from social media below.
This is way out of control. This is the reason why many people are losing respect for the African National Congress leadership. They are always implicated in scandal. These members must be punished in a way that it will send a message even to other members.
