this feeling that it doesn't really have any meaning anymore.

in that administration before the government of national unity.
And I said to her, how do you feel that the ANC has lost their majority?
How do you feel that you've lost?

We're the ones who gave people the right to vote.
And she was very angry.

I think there's a lot of frustration and that's regional, right?
