Actually it makes their majority more... So you are indirectly helping them get closer to a 2/3 majority.

So in voting for myself I actually voted for the ANC? What have I done!?

So one vote, regardless of spoiled ballot or not, robbed the ANC of 6.667%.
So if you want to "stick it to the man" and aren't happy with ANY of the political parties - go and vote. Spoil your ballot and let yourself be counted as the number of voters. Your vote will decrease their percentage of ownership.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
