VOLUNTEERS from the ANC Kokstad sub-region, consisting of 11 branches, braved the rainy weather to attend the party’s workshop at Bhongweni Youth Centre in Kokstad on Thursday, September 17. The gathering was an organisational assessment exercise to determine the state of the organisation ahead of the upcoming municipal polls on November 4.
The hall was full to capacity with some members forcing their way into the hall to stress their passion and to listen to their leaders. The gathering provided ANC leaders an opportunity to account for their work and achievements over the past five years with Kokstad mayor Lwanda Madikizela taking centre stage and delivering an account of the work undertaken by the council during the period.
“As we lead this municipality, the mandate was entrusted to us by the voters and the congress. It is therefore important that, whenever we stand before the people during this period, we account to them for the taxpayers’ money they entrusted us with,” said Madikizela.
He was unequivocal that the ANC in Kokstad remain united and cohesive, insisting that the organisation is approaching elections from a position of confidence.
