ANC no letters.jpg 16 March 2016 ANC to Launch 2016 Local Government Election Manifesto In exactly a month from today, the African National Congress (ANC) will officially launch the ANC 2016 Local Government Election Manifesto at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape Province on the 16th of April 2016. The Manifesto is expected to be an unambiguous expression of the views of the people on the type of society together we should be building. Guided by the ANC's 2016 theme "Year of Advancing People's Power: Local Government is in your Hands", the manifesto will be the culmination of extensive consultation process with across all sectors of society on how best to deal with our country's most pressing challenges - unemployment, poverty and inequality. Since the first democratic local elections held in the year 2000, the ANC has remained committed to a transformative and developmental agenda to build better communities. While tremendous progress has been recorded in developing our local government system and delivering a better life for all our people at community level, much more work still remains to be done to achieve a National Democratic Society. The ANC has always considered Local Government as being a critical tool in the hands of our people, empowering them to participate in their own liberation as active instruments of their own development. As the sphere of government closest and with the most direct contact with our people, it is imperative that the ANC delivers a manifesto that continues to be alive to the challenges of our people with concrete plans that, working together, will address them - driven by public representatives committed to their revolutionary duty to serve the people. Preparations for the Manifesto Launch are in full gear. Members of the media are invited to apply online for media accreditation to the launch from today, 16 March 2016 until Friday, 01 April 2016.
