The ANC views the expansion of basic infrastructure, which includes roads, electricity, water connections and public toilet systems in rural areas, as critical in the rural development strategy.
More than 500 homes in Limpopo will have electricity for the first time, following the handover of the R7 million electrification project on 22 February 2011 by the Polokwane Mayor, Freddy Greaver, to residents of the three villages of GaKgole, Mohlakeng and Makgabeng outside Polokwane.
This project, therefore, underlines the ANC's effective rural development programmes, and ensures that investment in infrastructure and services reaches those areas of the country that have been most adversely affected.
