South Africa's ANC's disgustingly racist political propoganda campaign

Captured this from my news feed on Facebook. This is the party responsible for a corrupt policing system, uneducated masses and one of the highest rape and murder rates per capita in the world. I don't even know what to say.

    This is fake. While the ANC government is not perfect and there is a TON of things they do wrong, corruption etc.

    This is probably right wing extremist nonsense to drum up support since we have an election year coming up. Also to make those 'traitors' who vote for the 'blacks' feel guilty.

    I covered a group that seem to have very racist views a while back for global voices:

    I wouldn't be surprised if a group like this put this out. The goal is use fear, to brainwash.

    The real sad part, is in a country of 50m, we only have about 8m tax payers, people are uneducated. Rather than focusing on 'the other people' and drumming up fear! we should be trying to fix this country, looking to government to fix it wont work. We all need to do it.

    Also, if you have never experienced apartheid, let me tell you this it was the most demeaning and horrible system. I grew up during the tail end of it. One of very few memories that i STILL have to this day before the age of 10, was cops threatening to throw us into jail, swearing us in a language, then proceeding to escort us off the beach, merely because we were on the wrong side of the beach, and because of the colour of our skin. My sisters were younger than me we all still remember this incident.

    Think about that for a second...

    Probably a fake, haven't been able to find another source for it. Much milder posters (like "don't vote against black") have already caused an outrage there, so something of this kind?
