'If the ANC dies, I will also die' - North West resident SAElections2019 | J_chabalala
You don't have to hear her say it to know that Emily Maeza of Mahikeng in the North West is an avid ANC supporter.
Maeza says she has been an ANC member since late president Nelson Mandela was in prison."I have always been an ANC supporter. I started with it when it was still small," she adds. "I am still proud of the ANC... the party does a lot of work. We now have toilets because of the ANC. Some people have houses and others are about to get houses because of the ANC."
In 2014, the North West won 67% of the votes. But the ANC in the North West has become fragile since then. Last year, several leadership spats led to Supra Mahumapelo being ousted as provincial chairperson. Part of this change includes giving residents access to water, free electricity and more houses, she says. She also commends the president for campaigning in the area, saying that the party is in"good hands".
