Build One South Africa (BOSA), South African political party president Mmusi Maimane has become the butt of jokes on social media over his party’s poor performance in the general elections.
Yesterday, millions of South Africans went in their numbers to various polling stations to cast their votes.
As the counting of the votes continues, the ANC, Umkhonto Wesizwe, DA, and EFF are leading the race in the elections. Mmusi Maimane’s party, however, seems to be trailing behind.
It is looking a bit grim for him as his party has not secured any seats in parliament as of yet.

His post generated a flurry of reactions as South Africans mercilessly trolled him. Social media users opined that his wife, family, and friends are the only people who voted for him, judging by the few votes he has garnered.
