The capital city of Mahikeng in the North West province has been a place of contention, from prior to democracy in 1994 through to the present. It was once a booming town with so much potential. Yet now, an Auditor-General report has stated it’s dealing with ‘financial and operational collapse’. Eyewitness News visited the historical town to discover what happened to this city once brimming with opportunity and to unpack the extent of the disintegration.

Lucas Mangope warned the people of North West about what ANC will do to them but nobody cared to listen. Now they are paying the biggest price. Indeed 1994 euphoria has evaporated!!

The ANC has had three chances and they have gotten worse beyond ridiculous. How stupid do we have to be to give them another chance while they lie in our faces. Wake up south africa🤦🏿🙆🏿‍♀️

As a young female in Mafikeng, I'm crying for recreational facilities for the youth. Our young people are forced to leave to other towns/cities cause there's nothing left for us here. No jobs , no opportunities to better ourselves creatively

This is heartbreaking to watch, I lived in Mahikeng for 8 years during the early 1990's when it was a wonderful multiracial, multicultural town where everything worked and incredible development was taking place among the Motswana people with excellent schools & a university and a life of ever growing pride and dignity. It was a rapidly developing rainbow nation before the term "Rainbow Nation" was coined by Bishop Tutu. To see the poverty, degradation & filth it has descended to under the ANC is indescribable.

"When the ANC took over they already had everything. They only had to maintain..." Sums it up, doesn't it.

At last a educational expose! This is the case in every corner of South Africa where the ANC shows up. Teach your children or face ruin, it may be too late.

This is very heart breaking I grew up in Mafikeng and seeing it like this breaks my heart deeply, I know 80% of our people are loyal to the ANC and it's struggle to freedom but it's time to move on we can't keep going back to an abusive Ex, Batswana emang ka maoto before it's too late.

when i was a kid in Limpopo, we use to envy the Batswana people, now the tables have dramatically turned. My backward town has developed more than anyone could have imagined. It's a shame what happened to Mahikeng

Kgosi Lucas Mangope was afraid of this (state of the province). ANC has killed Bophuthatswana.

This ANC guy wa pota. They made sure that they destroy everything that Mangope accomplished. The ANC's democracy has failed dismally.
