the paralysis of the state is a direct result of the incompetence to manage a country and its resources by ANC leaders, cadres and deployees. All the Russian and Chinese training they had post grad (or std 3 or whatever) has no bearing on the economic world of 2017. Leaves them paralyzed. 

The plain site knowledge that their brothers in arms of the 1980's stealing from the State,  Trampling the poor and disabled, and trashing the constitution. Leaves them paralyzed.

The fact that 23 years later they have no viable plan of action they are able to sell to each other let alone a country leaves them paralyzed

The time spent looking into the past and repetitiously nattering on about the Charter which has long been replaced by the Constitution (By them - the very same individuals) Leaves them  paralyzed.

The fact that they have ALWAYS been in a state of paralysis leaves them paralyzed.

The ANC in spite of hijacking the events of the fall of apartheid have and will always be paralyzed
