ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte says the party submitted its candidate lists for the upcoming local government elections before the revised deadline.It was not a case of once bitten, twice shy for the ANC, as the party was able to meet the crucial IEC deadline to register councillor candidates this time.
This after the party came under fire for failing to register candidates in more than 100 municipalities by the initial August 23 deadline. It was a situation, the ANC admitted in subsequently withdrawn court papers, that would have demoted it as ruling party or official opposition in dozens of councils.
We are proud that of the fact that women gained confidence of their communities to be selected as ward candidates.Duarte said about 25% of the candidates were young South African graduates, a rare occurrence in the party, which hoped they would bring in a new dynamic to local government. “What we feel good about is that 46% of our ward and PR candidates are women. We are proud of the fact that women gained [the] confidence of their communities to be selected as ward candidates. It is encouraging that women are being affirmed in this manner, but I do want to say there is a lot of work to be done,” she said.
What is there to be proud of? If MYANC is proud of 25% graduates in the list of candidates...then they are celebrating mediocrity.
