Civil rights organisation AfriForum said that the more than 60% support for the ANC in the election again underlined the need for strong civil organisations which can hold the ruling party accountable outside party politics. According to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, civil organisations from minority communities also have a crucial watchdog function to fulfil in order to protect the rights of minorities. Instead of being disheartened after every election, minorities should realize that the demographics of the country will always leave them marginalised. They should not pin their hopes on elections only, Kriel said. This does not mean that an election or the important work of opposition parties do not matter, Kriel added. This is a call for minorities to do more to ensure their own future rather than simply drawing a cross every five years. politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71619?oid=615950&sn=Marketingweb+detail&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
