Newsletter| The ANC in the Northern Cape is bracing itself for an “overwhelming victory”, but it will not be business as usual as the DA is poised to loosen the governing party’s grip. And the EFF is on an ambitious campaign drive in the province as well

The underresourced Joe Morolong municipal stronghold is a hotbed of political contention as both parties host campaign rallies to gain the lion’s share of voters

The opposition party is alleging corruption on the part of a senior ANC official in the health department, claiming it has evidence of cash slips to prove it.re no less than 70 000 votes in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality alone – a massive rural area that remains underdeveloped.

Although the forthcoming elections are for national and provincial office bearers, anger over municipal service delivery issues dominates. Poverty levels stand at 53%. Out of 100 matriculants who leave school, only 37 find employment in the province. Mines are employing skilled personnel such as health and safety officers, and geologists from as far off as Gauteng and Limpopo.

The ANC’s Thobeka Mthintelwa said a series of door-to-door campaigns, blitzes and church activities were lined up ahead of the party’s regional launch in Laxey on Sunday. During a recent outreach programme in Kimberley, President Cyril Ramaphosa conceded that the Khoisan had raised complex issues which would take time to resolve.
