The same MacG who once said Yena he dies not care about Politics, to which Malema called him out about it. Someone hired MacG to split the youth Vote. The youth will not vote ANC. And EFF had a deliberate move to get the youth Vote

They must just stay in their own lane, I blame their viewers for making them think they’re now equal to the task unless they view being Parliament as equal to their jokes
@Asiyaking_sa;
I’m just happy that young people are standing up and doing something instead of complaining on podcasts.
@UncleMojalefa;
Waste of signatures. These people have shown that they can’t lead their circles, what makes them think they’ll lead the country?

As funny as it looks or sound this could be a game changer!
