ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa has promised that the nearly 10,000 ANC local government election candidates will not rest until they “end corruption, fraud and patronage, no matter what form it takes and no matter who is involved”.

Ramaphosa said there will be days when the tasks of renewal and rebuilding the organisation will be difficult.

“Our towns are dirty and filthy right now. These candidates, when elected as councillors, are going to clean up. That is the instruction that I am issuing today. I am committing you as councillors to clean up our towns and townships.”“They will make sure that street lights work and that there are places in every community where children can play in safety. This means they will work to fix municipal finances and systems to improve billing and revenue collection.

Ramaphosa conceded that there are some areas where the ANC had not done well “but we have also said we are going to do better”. “They have undertaken to be responsive, inclusive and accountable. They have pledged to put the interests of the people of SA first.” “We know that there are councillors who have not listened to the concerns of our people, who have not sought to explain to our people the problems that they have encountered in not being able to provide services.”
