ANC's Fikile Mbalula Blames Climate Change for Potholes

Original: ANC’s Fikile Mbalula Blames Climate Change for Potholes… YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP!

Fikile Mbalula, secretary-general of South Africa's ANC, has blamed climate change for the country's pothole problem, a remark drawing heavy mockery and criticism online. Critics say the governing party is deflecting blame for poor road maintenance and municipal failures onto global weather patterns rather than its own governance record.

Why now: The remark is being widely ridiculed as an implausible excuse for deteriorating South African roads.
