The party’s secretary general has warned that if some people don’t go out and vote on 29 May, the former liberation movement will be the hardest hit.
DURBAN - The African National Congress 's Fikile Mbalula says it's currently targeting loyalists who have shown apathy and a lack of belief in the culture of voting.
The party’s secretary general has warned that if they don’t go out and vote on 29 May, the former liberation movement will be the hardest hit. The ANC is facing fierce competition ahead of the seventh general elections. In response, it’s deployed its top brass across the length and breadth of KwaZulu-Natal .Mbalula has been conducting door-to-door campaigns and holding community meetings in the eThekwini area.
He admitted that their canvassing was slowed down by financial constraints, which he says have been resolved.“We knew that when you play a game and others are coming with Ferraris and Porches, you’ve got to slow them down, we knew that we needed to take off at a particular time and as you can see over the last two weeks we have intensified.”
He has also dismissed talks that the Inkatha Freedom Party , which is part of the Democratic Alliance ’s Multi-Party Charter could possibly be in talks with the uMkhonto weSizwe Party in KZN.Pundits have suggested the advent of the MK Party will further harm the ANC.“We are working flat out for victory, other people are not campaigning, banking on something I don’t know, that the ANC will drop but we don’t see them campaigning hard on the ground, convincing voters to come out in their numbers.
