With elections just over a year away, African National Congress ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is urging party members to ensure their selection process for councillors in the 2026 local elections produces impeccable and capable public representatives.
The ANC leader was speaking at the opening of their Special NEC underway in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg, on Saturday. The two-day meeting was called to discuss the state of local government with a Roll Call meeting of the ANCs over 6 000 councillors and mayors planned for Monday at the FNB Stadium.
This weekends discussions are centred around improving the local sphere of government and ensuring that it positively impacts the people it is meant to serve.
