LGE2021 | ANC candidate councillors publicly pledge to serve South Africans
As he led thousands of ANC councillor candidates during the public pledge on Tuesday night in Alberton, President Cyril Ramaphosa said they would not stand for any wrongdoing among councillors, regardless of who was involved.
“These candidates have, this evening, pledged to serve the people with honesty and dedication, and to do so humbly and selflessly. They have undertaken to be responsive, inclusive and accountable,” he said. President Cyril Ramaphosa at the inaugural roll call event for councillor candidates at Alberton Civic Centre.

Ramaphosa conceded that there were areas where they had disappointed them, where services had not been delivered, where corruption and mismanagement had taken hold, and where infrastructure had not been properly maintained.
