ANC SUPPORTERS ADDRESSED IN MPUMALANGA
Mbalula addressed ANC supporters at the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale on Sunday, during the celebration of the party’s 111th anniversary.
This year, he claimed, service delivery would take precedence over “lazy leaders.”
“It must be acknowledged that the ANC is in control. The war must cease, and we must serve the people. Also crucial in this year of deliverance is resolving the electricity situation, since we can see that we are being lied to despite holding the reins of power.
He stated that the ANC has decided to declare Eskom a disaster in order to concentrate on resolving the problem.
“One day load shedding is reduced to level 2, and then it’s increased to level 6,” he remarked. By then, we would have already assured everyone that everything will be resolved.

STATE OF DISASTER WILL BE DECLARED
This week, when he gives the State Of The Nation Address, President Cyril Ramaphosa will define when a state of calamity would be declared (SONA).
Mbalula stated that they will scrutinize local leaders to ensure they are fulfilling their mandates.
He stated that the ANC will prioritize eliminating unemployment and preventing towns from employing unqualified officials.
Priority given to service delivery in 2023
According to Mbalula, consumers worry less about what occurs at conferences and more about the delivery of services. He emphasized that people should not compete with one another, but rather labor for the sake of the populace.
They will no longer ask people what they want from the ANC, he said, noting that their campaign will evolve this year and in the years to come.
Instead, they will inform voters of the ANC’s accomplishments and their aspirations to transform lives.
