The provincial party leadership said it looked forward to a capacity crowd from local and international guests that would paint the Royal Bafokeng Stadium near Rustenburg in the party's black, gold and green colours. The ANC celebrates 104 years of existence and President Jacob Zuma is expected to address the gathering. January 9th 2016.jpg Party leaders including provincial chairperson Supra Mahumapelo have been drumming up support in Phela village and other surrounding areas. Deputy ANC chairperson in the province Sello Lehare said during the party's door-to-door campaign in Letlhakane near Pella that the party was expecting to fill up the 49 000-seater stadium and have more people watching from outside the venue. "We will be bussing some 500 people per ward and we have more than 200 wards in our province. Moreover, there will be other guests from outside the province as it is the norm during the ANC birthday celebrations," he said. Lehare further said intense mobilisation would be done throughout December to make sure the message reached a large number of people. "Through this campaign we are also renewing our relationship with our people and reporting back where necessary," he said. The door-to-door campaign followed the provincial executive committee's (PEC) meeting at the Bakwena-ba-Morare Tribal Administration offices where the ANC spoke about its programmes in the past year and had a presentation on the area's mineral resources. "We are looking at which minerals are available so that we can create jobs, the biggest challenge in the area," he said. ANCWL's provincial secretary Bridgette Mogakwe said they looked forward to women-run businesses capitalising on the event to make money. "Even those women who are not part of the ANC but are in business will also be providing services and benefiting on the day," she said. One community member, Bakang Moeng, said he was happy that ANC leaders came to visit the area. "I am happy that the ANC is also bringing the celebrations of the 104- year anniversary to our province so that we can wish the party well." <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] From: <http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/16122015/epaperpdf/2.pdf> http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/16122015/epaperpdf/2.pdf -- -- You are subscribed.
