ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday said the ruling party will campaign with limited resources during this year’s elections.
“We must ensure that we use technology and innovative methods that will reach millions of members and supporters in safe and dynamic ways in line with Covid regulations.”This started when the ANC top six interviewed three candidates for the position of mayor of the City of Joburg to replace Geoff Makhubo, who succumbed to Covid-19.
Out of the three candidates, it was decided that Jolidee Matongo was the most suitable candidate for the position. “The ANC has begun a process whereby we interview mayoral candidates to ensure that we entrust this important position to skilled and capable cadres. “We urge government to implement more rigorous criteria and processes for important local government managerial positions, for example municipal manager and chief financial officer,” said Ramaphosa.
