ANC will never die in KZN, Ramaphosa declares ahead of local elections

President Cyril Ramaphosa has dismissed suggestions that the African National Congress (ANC) is facing an existential crisis in KwaZulu-Natal, asserting that the party remains a dominant force in the province ahead of the upcoming local government elections.

The ANC will never die in KwaZulu-Natal. It is a movement that is deeply rooted in the history and the hearts of the people of this province, and it will continue to serve them with dedication and resilience.

Addressing supporters during a campaign rally, Ramaphosa acknowledged the political challenges the party has faced in the region but emphasized that the ANC is undergoing a process of renewal and is committed to addressing the concerns of the electorate. He urged party members to remain united and focused on the goal of service delivery.

The President’s comments come as political parties across South Africa ramp up their efforts to secure support in key municipalities. The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has been working to regain lost ground and restore voter confidence through its intensified renewal campaigns and manifesto commitments.
