The African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa is currently facing public mockery for enlisting the support of social media influencer Skomota in its pre-election campaign. Several images circulating on social media site X depict Skomota participating in ANC campaign events while adorned in official party regalia. The online community in South Africa has responded with widespread ridicule, characterizing the ANC’s move as a desperate bid for votes.
On platform X, one user bluntly stated, “ANC are now using Skomota to campaign for their dying party. They’re really desperate now…” Another critic remarked, “Using a guy like Skomota to campaign for the ANC just goes to show how little they think about our intellect and intelligence.”
The utilization of a popular figure for political promotion has sparked debates about the ANC’s strategic decisions and the perceived credibility of their campaign efforts. As the nation approaches the upcoming election, the ANC’s engagement with influencers like Skomota raises questions about the party’s perception and the public’s sentiment towards its electoral tactics.
