Hon President, last week you announced the 08 May 2019 as the date for the next National and Provincial Government Elections. In the next three months, the ANC will intensify its campaign to receive a renewed mandate from the people of South Africa to continue governing this country. We have in a very short space of only 25 years, truly democratised South Africa under the stewardship of the ANC. Our pursuit of a nonracial, nonsexist, united democratic and prosperous South Africa is what has guided and continue to guide our work as a governing party.
