Deputy president David Mabuza says campaigning has been difficult this year, with concerns over unemployment and poverty having grown in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mabuza, who was speaking while on the campaign trail in KaNyamazane, outside Mbombela, in Mpumalanga on Thursday, also bemoaned factions in the ANC — saying it was only through the renewal of the organisation that these divides would be repaired.
“I’m sure that once we get our people vaccinated to get our economy working ... people will go back to work and SMMEs will be back on their feet. I’m sure things will be right over time,” said Mabuza. “The situation is the same countrywide. Because of the lockdown situation there have not been elective conferences. I’m sure that beyond these elections, if we are not hit by a fourth wave, the province will have to hold a conference to elect a chairperson.
He said the issues raised by communities in KaNyamazane, including damage to houses in storms, would be referred to the relevant authorities.
