ANC's renewal should be measured by service delivery - Mbalula
ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula said the party's renewal process should not be measured by speeches but by the number of roads fixed, taps flowing, and lights switched on.
Mbalula briefed the media on the outcomes of the ANC's national working committee meeting.
"The ANC acknowledges that the current political environment is one of both challenge and opportunity," said Mbalula.
"Councillors have been instructed to report monthly on the six pillars of the local government action plan. Baseline reports from chief whips are now under review, and by November, the ANC will release a local government barometer, measuring progress against manifesto commitments."
He said communities are already beginning to feel the impact of the party's renewal.
"In the coming days, the ANC will embark on unannounced visits across the country to see first-hand the work being done to ensure service delivery in our communities.
"These visits will prioritise engagements with our people, will meet with communities first, listen to their concerns directly and only thereafter will we engage councillors and leadership structures in those areas.
“This approach is a clear demonstration that the ANC's renewal is people-centred and that accountability begins with the community and that our commitment is to restore dignity through direct action, not distant reports."
