The 2024 national general elections will be the most difficult polls the ANC will face, says the party’s treasurer-general Paul Mashatile.
He urged the newly elected North West leadership under chair Nono Maloyi to immediately hit the ground in the province.
“We must maintain a permanent presence in and among communities. Our organisation must be the first point of call when communities are experiencing difficulties. This is a challenge I am putting on the shoulders of the newly elected leadership. Make sure our movement is visible on the ground all the time attending to people’s problems.”
The country is grappling with heightened levels of poverty and high unemployment figures. The cost of living has increased with food and fuel prices skyrocketing. Some of the challenges can be attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war. South Africans are, however, losing hope and running out of patience with the current government administration, Mashatile said.
