President Cyril Ramaphosa says jobs, cost of living, services key to ANC’s 7th term
African National Congress (ANC) president Cyril Ramaphosa says creating jobs, reducing the cost of living and providing decent basic services will be the main priorities of the ANC’s 7th government after the 29 May elections.
He was speaking to the media after his door-to-door campaign in Orange Farm, south of Johannesburg on Sunday. Most residents complained about unemployment, especially among young people, and poor service delivery from their municipality.
ANC president arrived to a thunderous crowd and residents coughed out what troubles them. The 87-year-old Elizabeth Matona, who is on life support narrated her harrowing story to the president of the governing party.
Matona says, “I am losing my breath, and the gas that I am using needs power to work but electricity is expensive and the fact that I have to go to the hospital is expensive for me because I have to pay R500 and I am not working. I am left with my grandchildren and they are not working. After interacting with some of these community members, the ANC president says it was a day well spent.
“I will leave this place very encouraged about our campaign and also about what we need to do to advance the lives of our people. I have met a variety of people who are facing health challenges we have been able to address the challenges that they face and inform them about the systems that we have put in place to address their challenges so it has been a good morning a very good day in the office.
