'We want to know what is going on with Eskom. Why is it that we can’t get a solid answer?' ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said on Wednesday.
Duarte was speaking at the launch of the party’s local government barometer, a new tool set up to track the performance of ANC-led municipalities on a quarterly basis.
“We must have excellent municipalities so that our people’s lives will begin to change for the better. We do want to attract good investment to our country but we also want to see a concomitant change in upstreaming of everything that happens. “The ANC cannot defend mediocrity in Eskom, Prasa and everywhere. The ANC expects the best. Our people expect the best from the ANC. As we go door-to-door and talk to our people, facing them on the ground, they communicate the message that 'we will vote the ANC, please do better'," he said.
“It is a direct response to our self assessment of how we have felt in our commitment to deliver a local government system that is truly responsive to the needs of South Africans.”
