African National Congress (ANC) presidential candidate Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma says now it’s time government implements set goals of an inclusive economy in South Africa.
She says an inclusive economy will see millions of citizens benefiting equally and thus have a progressive country.
Dlamini-Zuma addressed thousands of ANC members and locals in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga, on Saturday during the “Molo Makhelwane Campaign”.
She was alongside ANC Women’s League president, Bathabile Dlamini.
Calling for unity in song, the ANC members say Dlamini-Zuma has what it takes to lead and steer the party into the right direction.
Deputy Secretary General of the ANC Jessie Duarte has called on all South Africans not to be confused by those who speak big English as the elective conference draws closer. She says the only person who has what it takes to be the president is Dlamini-Zuma.
“We must be careful at all costs as we move closer to December; those people who speak big English don’t know what they mean. Right now, we need someone who will be in touch with the people and make sure that there is change in society and that is Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.”
Meanwhile, ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini says it’s time that women are recognised for their role in the struggle and the ANC.
She says everybody within all the structures must follow the marching orders, which is to endorse and support Dlamini-Zuma.
“We must follow the marching orders from the mother body. We can’t keep being undermined by these people. Let’s make sure that women take their rightful position in position of power. We all know who will be getting our support for the national conference in December.”
Dlamini-Zuma says she’s confident that an all-inclusive economy in South Africa will see more jobs being created.
She says it’s time that all the policies set by the ruling are implemented in all government structures.
“Let’s make sure that we implement our policies as the ANC in government. I appeal to all public servants to gear on the implementation stages, from local to provincial and national.”
Dlamini-Zuma was welcomed by the members of the Mpumalanga PEC led by the ANC Deputy Chairperson Violet Siwela.
But the chairperson David Mabuza who’s always been vocal about the importance of unity within the ruling party was not in attendance, sparking a lot of speculation about whether or not he’s behind Cyril Ramaphosa or Dlamini-Zuma for the presidential position.
