HAVE YOUR SAY
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
In the 2009 general elections, the ANC focused on the five national priorities - creating decent work and sustainable livelihoods; education; health; rural development and agrarian reform; and the fight against crime and corruption.
Progress has been made on these priorities. Through our direct contact with the people – in villages, townships and suburbs – we have received feedback on the progress. We often find a consistent message: “We appreciate the progress, but we want faster change”.
Our Manifesto addresses the main challenges we face in our communities and local government - and the ways of doing things. Our Manifesto is affordable, realistic and achievable. It draws lessons from our experience in government. It builds on the achievements and changes we have brought since 1994.
We are committed to ensuring that local government understands the fundamentals of serving communities. National and provincial government will work shoulder to shoulder with municipalities in this major effort.
