going to host the biggest race of the 2019 Election.
Gauteng is home to the most substantial black middle-class in the country and it is a barometer of how well the party is doing in a social segment it has played a large part in nurturing. Many Gauteng ANC leaders were shocked at its plummeting support and it became the lead province to front a fight-back against the administration of former president Jacob Zuma who was the figurehead of the era of state capture.
Maile was speaking at the launch of the ANC’s three-section pavilion festooned in its colours of green, black and gold at the Rand Show in Johannesburg as part of its second fight-back: this time to win back the support of its heartland province. The party is handing out balloons, flags, T-shirts and pamphlets at the pavilion and it has a kiddies play area which was popular whenThe pavilion demonstrates in numbers the services and how we have fought corruption,” said Maile who took a swipe at the DA when he said that the Gauteng Quality of Life Survey showed that the city of Ekurhuleni provided a better lifestyle than that of Johannesburg and Pretoria where the DA is in government.
