The Ward 22 candidate together with it’s working committee launched it’s manifesto at the Shakaskraal Clinic park on Saturday, 30 April 2011.
Hundreds of people, mainly ANC supporters, turned up at this launch. The main speaker of the day was the Regional Chairperson, comrade Ricardo Mthembu. In his speech he assured the people that the ANC was now driving its cause in the right direction when it came to service delivery, safety, security and the importance of allowing the homeless get RDP housing much to the applause of the ANC faithful.
“At all levels including local provincial governance we have selected the right person to lead the people and residents of Ward 22,” said Mthembu.
It is sad that when the DA needs support, it uses the Indian and African people to drive its cause but in the PR list you only find the white comrades featuring as the front runners. How can the voters back track into the apartheid era and vote for the DA. Even if our forefathers rose up from the grave they will vote ANC.
Mr Vishnugopal Govender took the podium to address the people. Supporters met Govender with applause and praise songs calling him their father (Baba).“The ANC is the ruling party and will remain in power till chickens start talking and people start flying,” said Govender.
Comrades I can assure you all that as the nominated candidate, I would not disappoint. I will make sure that I don’t sit back and reap the fruits without sweat and pain. I will work towards achieving our goals to make Ward 22 a better place to live for all. My priority will go to all those voting for the ANC. Lets not allow our village of Shakaskraal to become another Umhlali which is currently under the DA leadership. Govender received praise from the residents and all role players within Ward 22.The following organisations pledged their support for the ANC and their candidate: Shakaskraal Rate Payers Association, Protea Heights Civic Association, Shakaskraal and Nkobongo Concerned Parents Organisation, Shakaskraal Business Forum, Salt Rock Concerned Residents and The Concerned Churches and Temples of Shakaskraal.
After the meeting hundreds of supporters went on a peace march to Protea Heights waving and greeting the Indian residents ensuring they vote ANC and Govender as their man. A strong contingent of police was present to see that the day went on without any problems.
In unison the crowds chanted: “Viva ANC Viva” in favour of their Ward candidate.
