      KFC and fried chicken are foods associated with dogwhistles against African Americans. Racists in general are fundamentally uncreative, so South African racists have borrowed this idea as well, so this is just them saying that the native Africans are too stupid and greedy to be allowed to vote, because they’ll just vote for whomever offers them KFC.
