Johannesburg – No advantage will be given to any political party in the run-up to this year’s local government elections, President Jacob Zuma said on Monday.

Zuma was in Midrand, Johannesburg, where he signed the electoral code of conduct on behalf of the African National Congress.

“The ANC also reaffirms its commitment to political tolerance, peaceful co-existence with other parties, as well as free political activity throughout our country,” he said while giving his party’s pledge.

“We look forward to a robust and peaceful electioneering period at equal level and successful elections on 3 August. No advantage will be given to any [party], we canvass and participate equally as equal parties.”
