The ANC leader claims that the party’s experience in coalition governments has revealed the instability caused by the running of the municipalities. He says the party’s NEC reaffirmed its principled approach towards coalition governments.
Last week, the ANC lost out to the DA when Tania Campbell was re-elected as the Mayor of Ekurhuleni – just two weeks after being ousted through an ANC-sponsored motion of no confidence. Campbell’s win was largely made possible by a last-minute breakdown in talks between the Economic Freedom Fighters and the ANC.
Ramaphosa says the party is guided by its manifesto. “This is based on the need to advance the achievement of our manifesto commitments, particularly, to build local democracy and service delivery but also to improve accountability to the citizens of our local government.”ANC president reiterates that the governing party is still committed to providing social security in light of the rising cost of living. He outlined some of the social issues the meeting deliberated on.
“These interventions include the extension of the Social relief of disaster grant until March of 2024, the temporary relief of fuel prices, the continuation of vat zero rating of key food items and the consolidation of our social security and protection system, with social grants which reach around 18 million South Africans.”
Hopefully he won't take a huge loan for that
