President Cyril Ramaphosa has been confronted with complaints about poverty, unemployment and the slow pace at which social relief of distress grants are paid.

Ramaphosa led the ANC election campaign in eThekwini over the weekend ahead of the November 1 local government elections.

“That is why we are saying job creation is a priority. So vote for us because as we say, only the ANC has proven that we care for our people and solving their problems,” said Ramaphosa. It found the unemployment rate hit 34.4% in the second quarter from 32.6% in the first quarter. The number of unemployed people jumped to 7.82-million in the three months to the end of June from 7.24-million in the previous three months.

Access to water was another complaint communities around eThekwini raised with the president. He said the ANC “agree that water challenges must be solved”.

‘There are many problems,’ Tlokwe residents tell Cyril RamaphosaWater, homes and jobs. This is what 60-year-old Marie Abrahams from Promosa in the Tlokwe area demanded from ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa when she saw him face-to-face on Friday. Does she think money grow on trees thats why banks have branches? We all know in order to return to the freedom charter we first have to get rid of the negotiating parties. The ANC and the foreign businessmen who mine here but the funds get sent to europe. only now he crawls out of the woodwork because he wants votes .
