The ANC in Sekhukhune officially launched Letsema clean-up campaign
Sekhukhune
African National Congress (ANC) in Sekhukhune district has officially launched its Letsema clean-up campaign on May 15th.
According to the liberation movement the initiative is aimed at renewing its social contract with voters, getting party members and local volunteers to address challenges in their communities.
The region is formed by four local municipalities and all of them obeyed with the national call to embark on the programme.
Party members under Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality were assembled at Groblersdal Taxi rank to honor the initiative.
In Ephraim Mogale party leaders, activists and volunteers were gathered at ward 13 at Kgomo tsa Mafisha.
Meanwhile within Fetakgomo Tubatse people were assembled at Mapolide Longtill and within Makhuduthamaga they gathered at Glen Cowie.
The party’s national executive committee (NEC) said in February that Letsema is ‘an important building block for the 2024 general elections and will see the ANC engaging with a broad spectrum of stakeholders beyond the confines of its structures’.
National spokesperson for the ANC, Pule Mabe said: “In the ANC, we believe that our people can be able to advance their own democratic gains when they too play an active role in building the society they want,”
Mabe said Letsema clean-up campaign is exactly about that, making sure that the journey to rebuild our country, making sure that all of our citizens enjoy our democratic gains is one that takes everyone along.
He said the campaign could help unite the ANC behind the common goal of building ‘better and safer communities’.
“Now the Letsema campaign provides that kind of space for everyone who calls themselves volunteers of the African National Congress.”
The ANC has long spoken of getting back to basics and rebuilding its unstable relationship with voters.
Deploying members to lead and coordinate local improvement projects is about as back to basics as it gets.
“The fact that we are now forging ahead with the renewal trajectory, that alone is a demonstration on our part of wanting to put forward, out there in society, a more renewed ANC, an ANC that focuses itself on the responsibility of leading society and making sure that its members serve the people better and work better for the people.” Mabe concluded.
