Former Deputy President of the African National Congress (ANC), David Mabuza, took the party’s election campaign to Olivenhoutbosch in Centurion on Sunday.
Addressing ANC volunteers and community members, Mabuza encouraged them to vote for the ruling party in the upcoming general elections scheduled for May 29th.
Mabuza, who stepped down as South Africa’s deputy president in March, remains an influential figure within the ANC’s leadership ranks. His campaign stop underscores the party’s determination to shore up support in Gauteng province and its surroundings ahead of the crucial polls.
The ANC is pulling out all the stops to rally its base as it faces a stiff challenge from opposition parties looking to make inroads, especially in urban constituencies. Mabuza’s deployment to Centurion suggests the ruling party views consolidating its traditional strongholds as key to its re-election efforts.
With just weeks until South Africans cast their ballots, political temperatures are rising as parties intensify their campaigns with rallies, door-to-door outreaches and manifesto unveilings across the country’s nine provinces.
