President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned the ANCs national executive committee NEC that the local government elections later this year will be a litmus test of its determination to win elections, calling for the party to deploy capable leaders.
As we bring this ANC lekgotla to a close, we know the people of South Africa want the ANC to move beyond pronouncements and plans. The people want action. They want to see progress and an improvement in their quality of life, which they know the ANC has a great task to institute. The people will judge us not so much by what we say but by the impact our programmes have on their daily lived experiences.
The president emphasised the party requires leadership who are skilled, capable and dedicated.
