“We know that Madibeng local municipality is under administration and marred with corruption and fraud. However we are working together with The Hawks to root out corruption there. We will also make sure we come up with strategic plans to resuscitate the municipality.

“ANC is the gatekeepers of democracy. The party plays a key role in facilitating women’s access to political leadership and decision-making in public office. We will apply a comprehensive approach to ensure that we change the lives of the masses,” Mothibi said.

Provincial secretary Dakota Logoete said the party has a successful mobilisation programme. He said they embarked on door-to-door campaign with their voting district coordinators.

Legoete added that the voting district coordinators play a pivotal role to make ANC visible and win over voters. He said the party volunteers met with different potential voters in various regions across the province on Sunday.

“We are convinced that our people heed the call. These are hard-working ANC representatives identified by branches. They work for the movement voluntarily. The party leaders also visited different churches in Wolmaransstad on Sunday.

“Our team also continued with elections mobilisation programme to different wards in Zeerust. We also introduced our ward councillor candidates to the people of Ramotshere Moiloa sub region,” Legoete said.

He added that the party mingled with leaders in a relaxed mood during a jazz breeze. Legoete said they also recruited more members and voters.

“We enhanced the activation of the election mood. The party needs to emphasise the importance of voter contact. Our regional and provincial leadership also scrutinised the voters’ roll and shared responsibilities according to streets and residential blocks,” he said.

The incumbent mayor for Tlokwe local municipality, Khotso Khumalo said they will make sure there is a strategic plan in improving the situation in the beleaguered Ventersdorp.

“The two municipalities will be merged together. So we have already formed a political task team to address community’s grievances. Our people welcomed the demarcation decision. We will also incorporate workers from both municipalities and make sure we provide workshops to our employees. Batho Pele principles will be put in practice,” Khumalo said.
