Media Statement

The African National Congress (ANC) calls on every voter to make their mark for the ANC so that we can all do more to build a better life for all, together.

Over the last 30 years, we have built a new nation, one that all South Africans can call home. We have worked together, black and white, women and men, to improve the lives of all our people.

We have shown what can be done when people come together in a common effort. As we face the challenges of tomorrow, we need to show the same spirit, determination and unity in building a prosperous nation.

In government, the ANC has worked with all South Africans, not only its supporters, to tackle poverty, grow the economy, build peace and stability, and improve lives. It has shown that it can work in partnership with all South Africans in a common cause.

We have achieved much, but a lot more still needs to be done. Working together we can do more.

The ANC calls on all parties, candidates and citizens to ensure that the election is peaceful and held without disruption, and that it is free, fair and reflects the will of the people.
