ANC took on the white -run system and won, we hoped 
for a new free country an apartheid- free land
The “Rainbow Nation sprung to life reconciliation, dancing
in the streets, which have become crime-ridden by now.
But the ANC cannot rule forever,...

ANC Greedy Leaders- South Africa
In a land where shadows linger long,
A tale unfolds of a people's song.
Apartheid's chains, a cruel embrace,

Tintswalo
Tintswalo's story echoes a different tune,
Born in '94, beneath the ANC's boon.
They speak of progress, a free education,
Yet in reality, she faces unemployment's frustration.

No jobs, no change, just broken vows,
Tintswalo struggles in a system that allows,
Promises made, but dreams left to rust,
The ANC's legacy, a...
