The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal believes SA will not succeed in eradicating the legacy of apartheid and colonialism if the party is not voted into government on November 1.
Provincial chairperson Sihle Zikalala on Saturday launched the ANC's manifesto for the upcoming local government elections, assuring the people of KwaZulu-Natal that only leaders committed to service delivery had been fielded as councillor candidates.
“All our candidates have understood and firmly internalised that without a committed leadership of the ANC, SA will not succeed in eradicating the legacy of apartheid and colonialism,” said Zikalala. He added that while the governing party did not and could not blame all problems of today on the past “the reality is that most of our challenges have their root on the history of oppression and marginalisation of Black people in general and Africans in particular”.
Zikalala said the ANC's purpose in government was to address these challenges and build a society in which the value and potential of any individual cannot be determined by their historical situation. To achieve progress, the ANC has pledged accountable and transparent local government leaders who will forge partnerships with communities and social partners, including the private sector, to benefit local communities.
