ANC North West chairperson and premier, Supra Mahumapelo said all ANC branches must get ready and be prepared for next year’s Local government elections.

He was speaking in Taung where the African National Congress Provincial Execuitive Committee visited the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District during Imvuselelo (Revival) campaign on Monday.

Mahumapelo met with all ANC councillors in Greater Taung Municipality before visiting some of 65 branches.

“Through the campaign, the party aims to thank South Africans for voting for the ruling party and placing them in power for another five years. And to also encourage our supporters that every day is My ANC Day” Mahumapelo said.

He said ANC has three worse enemies i:e unemployment, poverty and inequality.

He also reminded councillors about their objectives.

“The Imvuselelo Campaign is not a once-off campaign. It should form the basis for an ongoing programme of membership development, organisation building and community engagement. The lessons learnt from the first campaign should be used to mould the annual programme of branches” he said.

ANCYL Regional Secretary, Crespo Menyatso said they welcome the visit of the chairman and as ANCYL in the region, will make sure they teach people about Imvuselelo campaign especially ahead of Local Government elections that will take place next year.

“We’re humbled by our chairperson’s visit and that really shows that ANC is the only party that can improve the lives of South Africans. We are faced with inequality, unemployment and poverty, which we need to work towards eradicating all that” Menyatso said.

ANC North West recently honoured the struggle stalwart, Ruth Mompati by giving her a brand new E200 Mercedes Benz.

Mahumapelo said they honouring Mama Ruta while she is still alive and the youth need to take a leave out of her book.
