The ANC deputy secretary-general says the party has heard the voices of all South Africans and the election results are a critical step in recovering from 2016's low point

The ANC most notably held on to Gauteng with 50.19% of the support, where it tumbled to 45.84% of support in the province in 2016. The DA in 2016 received 37.23% of the support in Gauteng. The ANC had plummeted to 53.59% of support in 2014, from just above 64% in 2009. By receiving 50.19% of the vote in Gauteng in 2019, it has arrested its electoral decline in no small way.

Duarte said the ANC’s mandate was clear: South Africans wanted a growing economy that created jobs, programmes that tackled poverty more effectively, built viable communities close to work and reduced the cost of living.

2019 election a recovery from the lows of 2016: DuarteANC deputy secretary Jessie Duarte also said service delivery issues played a role in the party's decline in support. 🖤💚🧡✊🏾 I believe that some of this below also played a MAJOR PART, sadly it is the parts that the corrupt anc has shown VERY CLEARLY over the past 10+ years, that they are INCAPABLE of EVER FIXING! Having heard this aunties talk, I sincerely hope the spineless anc do something about the corrupt individuals in the party. All talk and no action. Mark my word.
