Pres. Jacob Zuma launches victory campaign
President Jacob Zuma on Wednesday night launched the ANC's countdown to victory campaign at the market theatre in Johannesburg.
Zuma criticised other political parties saying they are formed out of anger.
Zuma said despite the councillor nomination processes being marred by controversy and a number of killings in provinces such as KwaZulu-Natal, North West and Mpumalanga this shows that there is internal democracy within the ANC, unlike other political parties where you submit a CV to become a councillor.
The ANC president also pleaded with South Africans to have confidence in the ruling party and not to give up on them.
"There is a system, a democratic system. That is what distinguishes the ANC from other parties," Zuma said.
He also mocked black people who vote for the Democratic Alliance saying that the DA is the only political party that still has apartheid members of parliament within its ranks.
"It is worse when a black person leads an organization formed to oppress them," Zuma said.
