ANC determined to reclaim Tshwane metro

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The African National Congress (ANC) is determined to reclaim the Tshwane Metro in Pretoria.

On Friday and Saturday, the governing party’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and his Deputy, David Mabuza, will be campaigning in the area.

Ramaphosa will lead a campaign in Mabopane later on Friday morning, while Mabuza will be in Soshanguve on Saturday.

 

On Monday, the ANC led by Mabuza and former party secretary-general Kgalema Motlanthe met with all structures in Tshwane.

Disputes on the structures’ councillor candidates’ election process topped the agenda of the meeting, as outlined in the video below:

Reclaiming Tshwane 

The ANC failed to secure a majority government in the city in the 2016 elections.

But now, it has vowed to win back the municipality in the November 1 Local Government Elections.

During his election campaign in Kimberley in the Northern Cape earlier this week, Ramaphosa admitted that his party has dropped the ball when it comes to service delivery.  He says, however, they are on a path of correcting this.

Ramaphosa said their focus is to win the back Tshwane.

“Our intention is to win Tshwane back because our people can also see the mess that that metro has been plunged into with bad governance. We are absolutely certain that the people of Tshwane will see that the ANC has the will, the capability, and it has the people who can put Tshwane back on its footing again. I am not too concerned, because I know we are ready to solve the problems.”
