The rainy weather did not dampen the spirits of the people of Gqeberha when the ANC’s president returned to the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro for yet another elections campaign.
“That is why we say we want the ANC to come back and run this municipality. This metro must go back to the ANC,” he said. “We want the ANC to come back and run this metro because the DA has messed up, so we must come out in our numbers to vote for Nonkie and others,” Ramaphosa said.
He noted that there were issues with unemployment, need for rectification of low-cost houses and electricity, among others, in the area. “That is why we say we must come out in large numbers so that the ANC can come back to its position and run this municipality properly in the interests of our people here.At another community meeting at Njoli Square, instead of addressing the crowd, Ramaphosa gave the platform to Ward 22 candidate councillor, Monwabisi Richard Jakuja. Jakuja, who was popular with the crowd, told him that the people had vowed to stay put for Ramaphosa despite the rain. He asked Ramaphosa to clarify if there could be independent candidates in the ANC when people lost in the candidate selection process, saying the matter was causing confusion.“We say we want him to work for you and do everything to solve your problems,” he said.“They will come to you and other parties saying Nywee Nywee . Don’t listen to them. Say you are the ANC and want to vote Jakuja.”“I have a hope that the comrades we deploy will work for us. They will do what is required of them,” Ramaphosa said.
