ANC Secretary General Fikile Balula has openly acknowledged the feelings of neglect among communities in the Western Cape, emphasizing the party's need to reconnect and address local issues. This recognition comes as the ANC prepares for its significant 113th anniversary, urging the need for an honest self-reflection on its performance and commitment to these communities. The party's history, especially since losing majority support in 2009, places a spotlight on the urgency of rebuilding trust and engaging those who feel forgotten.
As the ANC prepares for its anniversary celebrations at Mandela Park Stadium, political analysts are keenly observing the implications of the party's current standing in the Western Cape. The challenges faced by the ANC in this election cycle can significantly impact its strategies moving forward. Analysts suggest that a major focus should be placed on actively engaging local communities, addressing their concerns, and demonstrating a commitment to positive change in order to regain their support.
Recent discussions about potential shifts within the ANC's alliances, particularly with the SACP, raise critical questions about the future of these partnerships. Analysts argue that as these alliances face potential fragmentation, the ANC must work harder to solidify its position and influence in upcoming elections. The impending elections of 2026 may serve as a litmus test for the strength of the ANC and its alliances, as competition intensifies amidst a backdrop of internal recalibrations.
In a recent media briefing, ANC Secretary General Fikile Balula acknowledged that the party has not adequately addressed the concerns of communities in the Western Cape, feeling neglected since losing majority power in the 2009 elections. As the ANC gears up to celebrate its 113th anniversary this weekend at Mandela Park Stadium, Balula conveyed the urgency of reconnecting with these communities. Meanwhile, political analysts weigh in on the implications of this neglect for upcoming elections and the overall strength of the party in the region. The ANC's struggle to regain support in the Western Cape is evident, with Balula confirming that since the 2009 elections, the party has only won 14 out of 42 seats, allowing the opposition Democratic Alliance to dominate the area. This loss has led to questions about the ANC's strategy and commitment to addressing local grievances. As the party prepares for symbolic celebrations, experts suggest a proactive approach is critical for rebuilding trust. Political analysts Dr. Levi Do and SABC News Political Editor analyzed President Cyril Ramaphosa's recent speech, which aimed to consolidate the party's alliances but revealed underlying tensions, especially with the South African Communist Party (SACP). Observers note that the SACP's potential decision to contest elections independently could signify a significant political shift and challenge for the ANC, which has relied on its alliances for stability. As preparations for the 113th anniversary gather pace, the ANC faces the challenge of reaffirming its commitment to the people it serves while navigating a complex political landscape.ANC is synonymous with tenders for buddies and lack of delivery. Theyve had enough chances to prove themselves, and failed.
For 30 years we have been living under ANC government dictatorship ,without land overcrowded townships,too much people and few houses. Where does the tax money go ? People are paying tax , ANC took a huge amount loan from America , selling South African resources all this kind of money ANC spent it Where because no development is happening in South Africa People need land to stay with their loved ones in townships, people needs water to drink in the villages etc ANC government is evil worse than Apartheid government In Asia land is available for farming, hotels, sports, for buildings š¢šÆto rent out very affordable, land for townships, villages, land for new cities Why in South Africa people are living like pigs even pigs are not overcrowded like this
IN THE ANC GOVERNMENT THEY ONLY LACK ONE MAN WITH BALLS THAT WILL TELL CIRYL RAMAPHOSA THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND ARE TIRED OF HIM HE MUST STEP DOWN BECAUSE HES SINKING THE ANC SHIP š¢ OR ELSE THEY MUST FORGET ABOUT RULING IN 2026.
As you listen to these clowns š¤” it becomes clear why they cannot unite the different races under one banner because of these divisions that they creates at the moment as the ANC stand it is the most divided organization that only cater for a certain group but when you talk about it they deny it but it is there for everyone to see and the way things stand they will never make any inroads in the Western Cape due to that policy they do not see other races as part of their organization and is far and few in between
Lol but the SACPs policies are outdated and they dont have any significant national presence, because they aways existed in the ANCs shadow. The breakaway will be the final nail in both the SACPs and ANCs coffin. MK, EFF and DA will greatly benefit from this move.
They have failed South Africans in 30 years, now they are opening borders without having a formula of developing South Africa. inviting for more chaos and disruption in every way, there shall be a revolutionary uprising, Civilians against politicians.
