ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa was met with “no electricity, no vote” placards while on the campaign trail in Gauteng on Monday.

The party has been on a mission to take back major Gauteng metros after losing out in 2016. Ramaphosa urged voters to give the party another chance as it was undergoing a process of renewal and building better communities., who he said was doing outstandingly well in his duties so far.

This after he compiled an extensive report regarding problems in certain townships and how these could be addressed. “This is the first time I see a mayor with a plan of how he’ll solve problems. So I am so happy that he is here. He knows what your problems are. The good thing about him is that he identifies a problem, comes up with a solution and thereafter comes up with a budget and also looks at the metro’s overall budget to see if there will be capacity,” said Ramaphosa.

Turning back to electricity and load-shedding in townships, Ramaphosa attributed the electricity crisis to old power substations, Eskom debt, cable theft and mushrooming back room shacks, among other issues. He said residents were partially to blame for the crisis. “Part of the difficulties we have with electricity are caused by us. Another important thing is that, when the ANC took over in 1994, electricity was only being enjoyed by about 56% of the people, but today it is enjoyed by about 90% in the entire country. That's because of the ANC. As government, we want everyone to have electricity,” he said.“We are not the only ones in the world with this problem of electricity that is sometimes weak and sometimes strong.

This clown must be living in a bubble. What a lot of syrupy trash. How can ANC be the 'only' party to bring them electricity when their useless cadres broke it down with their looting? He had better tell the voters that they will have to PAY for their power, bec broke ANC cant

africaupdates This is good as it shows voters linking service delivery with their vote. These have been delinked for long in SA where protests and complaining replaced using voting to send a message of discontent.

Be careful of the promises that are made in desperation to hold on to power after the party has allowed our economy to be raped and none of the corrupt officials are in jail yet. In China they would have been executed by gunshot very quickly.

27 years to sort out the electricity. How useless the Anc has been. Instead the money has been stolen

Why would you vote for a party that just does not understand how much of an inconvenience it is not to have electricity.. VoetsekANC

Should be voting differently

Die votas sal sy drolle as soetkoek opeët.

Don't abandon the MYANC family while sitting on a pit toilet, or your children have to play in sewerage, or you have carry 20litres of water on your head for 6 km. When the 28 blue light BMW's piss off, nothing is gonna change. VoetsekANC
