‘This is what we did to the vote that you gave to us’: Mbalula says ANC changed lives
Mbalula says the ANC has a proven track record in service delivery.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula is asserting that the party has a proven history of improving the lives of South Africans and urging voters to continue supporting them. Speaking in the Sekhukhune region of Limpopo on Wednesday, Mbalula addressed ANC supporters and recounted the dire conditions in rural areas before the ANC's rise to power.
He emphasized that black elderly individuals, in particular, faced significant hardships, including inadequate pensions and long queues. Under ANC leadership, Mbalula claims, electricity was introduced to rural areas, houses were built, and water challenges were addressed, even though some issues persist due to aging infrastructure.
Mbalula urged his audience not to be swayed by those who argue the ANC has failed to deliver, stating that such criticisms come from individuals who have never lived under apartheid. He reinforced that the ANC, which was formed with the support of local kings and queens, remains the property of the people of South Africa and was established to protect and uplift its citizens.
Earlier in September, Mbalula stated that the ANC's historical foundations, including its ties to God, ancestors, traditional leaders, and the church, would make it resilient against attempts to undermine its influence.
