  "account": "African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa has highlighted crime and unemployment as the two primary concerns voiced by Orange Farm residents during a door-to-door campaign. Many households have called for the establishment of stronger community policing forums to collaborate with law enforcement and aid in reducing crime rates. Ramaphosa expressed concern over the lack of active community policing forums, stating that their presence could significantly decrease crime levels. During the ANC's manifesto campaign in Orange Farm, residents acknowledged progress in certain service delivery areas, including water, but continued to raise concerns about multiple issues. While the ANC received gratitude for service delivery improvements, residents also emphasized the ongoing challenge of unemployment. Despite the high number of unemployed individuals, the campaign revealed a strong entrepreneurial spirit among some residents, showcasing their efforts to overcome unemployment through self-employment.",
