SAElections2019 | 'The people showed us flames in the last election.'
He said the ANC's new dawn and its renewal project, including the Zondo commission, was the party's best weapon to recoup the votes they had lost. He said no political party would run a commission during an election where its senior members had been implicated if it was not committed to uprooting corruption.
"Only the ANC can do that because we are in the process of correcting our mistakes. The president did not hesitate to fire Jiba and Mrwebi and state organs have been refurbished as we speak," he added. Mbalula also said that, unlike in previous elections, the ANC had taken research polling numbers seriously this time and that the ANC was committed beyond the elections to continue addressing the issues on the radar and move faster in solving those.
"We are not here to argue with researchers, unlike in the last campaign. To us research is a science, election campaigning is an art, and we take what the polls say seriously - we analyse it, it informs our approach but what is important for us is that we win decisively," he added.
