Party members dressed in yellow T-shirts sang and whistled as they waited for the formal programme to start.
Attendee Lesego Lebotse said she expected President Cyril Ramaphosa to speak on how the ANC would create jobs for unemployed youth when he addressed the rally later in the day.
“I want the president to talk about jobs. We are unemployed. We went to school but cannot find jobs,” she said. Speaking at the ANC national manifesto launch in January, Ramaphosa said government would work to increase investments by R1.2 trillion over the next four years as part of a plan to grow the economy and create jobs.
“We are within reach of our target. These investments will help diversify the economy in sectors like mining, forestry, manufacturing, telecommunications, transport, energy, water, agro-processing, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, and financial services,” he said at the time.
