When the ANC’s election manifesto was released in January 2019, it was slammed by the DA for consisting of little more than “empty promises”
Aspects of the manifesto:-
An ANC government will ‘allocate at least 30% of the government’s procurement spend to small businesses and co-operatives’.
By 2024, all undergraduate students will be fully funded by NSFAS (the National Student Financial Aid System).
The ANC government will reduce the cost of data through the work of competition authorities and the communication regulator, Icasa.
The ANC government will ‘work closely with the private sector to develop major development projects’ — which will include ‘building at least one new South African city of the future’.
He has held various leadership positions since entry into the South African political arena. He also holds a Masters Degree in Economics and completed training in Leadership Skills and Counseling.
