Reflecting on the party’s campaigns across the country, Ramaphosa said people had raised their issues with the party leadership clearly, fearlessly and, sometimes, angrily.
The party leadership had noted several grievances and difficulties that the majority of residents in the country continue to experience. “Families confront hunger and poverty every day. Millions of people are unemployed. Many live in informal settlements without basic services. Crime and violence are rife,” he said.
“They say that they love the ANC, but that we must correct our mistakes and fix the problems in local government. The people see that the ANC has the will and the ability to make a change,” he said. “We want competent mayors who will demonstrate that they can perform and who will put the interests of our people first.”“We have heard their concerns and their hopes, their desire for better communities and their dream of a better life for themselves and their families. We have heard about all the work that the ANC has done.
