People are expected to descend on Church Square in Pretoria on Monday afternoon ahead of the ruling party’s election manifesto launch.
Earlier this year, the party implemented new rules for electing metro mayors, including that mayoral candidates be interviewed by the party’s top six in a bid to have a professional local government.
Speaking at an impromptu candidate preview event at Luthuli House in Johannesburg on Sunday, Ramaphosa said the party leadership would make sure its councillors, especially the youth, embody ethical servant leadership and are fit and proper for public office. At the same event, Ramaphosa urged ANC candidates to listen to the people and engage with them on their problems. He cautioned against making empty promises, urging them instead to work together with the people to find lasting solutions.
