State of readiness for the 2016 Local Government Elections Manifesto Launch
15 April 2016
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth will be a fitting setting for the launch of the African National Congress' 2016 Local Government Manifesto on Saturday, 16 April 2016. The province of the Eastern Cape occupies pride of place as the political home of the ANC and the epicenter in the struggle for freedom and justice. The ANC once again returns to this province, proud of the commendable work the ANC government has done in the region and confident and humbled by the overwhleming support the ANC continues to enjoy amongst the people of Nelson Mandela Bay.
Since the beginning of the week, supporters, members and leaders of the ANC have been involved in an intensive mobilisation campaign; talking to our people and encouraging them to form part of 100 000 people strong contingent expected at the Stadium on Saturday. In our interactions with our people, they continue to demonstrate their utmost confidence in the ANC while acknowledging weaknesses and challenges in some areas. This is both in ANC strongholds and in areas where the ANC did not perform well in the 2011 Local Elections or even the by-elections. The people are speaking confidently of the tangible change they have seen in their lives as a result of the work of the ANC government. We are satisfied with the turnaround that the municipality has witnessed following the NEC's intervention in the region last year. The ANC is convinced that the people of Nelson Mandela Metro will give the ANC a renewed mandate on 3rd August 2016 to build on the work that has already been done.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, which holds 46 000 people inside will be filled to capacity on Saturday as will be the overflow facilities. The Nelson Mandela Metro Region alone has more than 40 000 people confirmed to attend the Manifesto Rally with the balance of those expected, coming from the neighbouring regions in the province.
More than 1000 buses and 600 taxis will ferry supporters from across the province. Provinces of Free State, Gauteng, KZN and the Western Cape are also expected to support the rally with each bringing about 10 busses.
There will be strict access control measures enforced around the stadium to ensure minimal disruption to residents and businesses around the area. Road closures will be in effect on Milner Avenue, Prince Alfred Road and Fettes Raod. Only residents and businesses operating in these areas will have access to these roads. Prohibited items at the stadium include firearms, dangerous weapons and alcohol as well as any T-shirt or placards that are insulting or divisive.
The gates of the stadium will open at 08h00 when the cultural programme will commence. Many of South Africa's most popular artists have confirmed their attendance including a variety of local artists chosen specifically to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Eastern Cape. Musicians from different genres will also be present including traditional, gospel, hip hop, dancers and DJ's.
The political programme starts at 10h00 with Interfaith Prayers, followed by Messages of Support from our Alliance Partners - the South African Communist Party (SACP), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) as well as South African National Civil Organisation (SANCO).
ANC President Comrade Jacob Zuma is expected to speak at 11h00.
