CAPE TOWN, S. Africa, April 14 (NNN-SA NEWS) – African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General, Ace Magashule voiced confidence that his party would win the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magashule was speaking, as he kicked off a two-day campaign in Cape Town, Western Cape Province, which is administered by the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the nine provinces in the country, the Western Cape is the only province that is not run by the ANC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ANC, he said, can make inroads into places under the DA administration after the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Africa will hold the general elections on May 8, to elect a new National Assembly and provincial legislatures in each province. The elections, the sixth since the end of apartheid in 1994, will determine who will become the next president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing people’s concern over housing and electricity, Magashule said, the ANC is in a better position to solve these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magashule brushed aside corruption allegations against him, saying he was focusing on the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were people who were trying to distract the ANC and deviate its attention and focus on the elections, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allegations against him and other ANC leaders won’t have any impact on the governing party, Magashule said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magashule has been embroiled in corruption scandals, exposed by a newly published book, Gangster State, which centres around Magashule’s alleged involvement in years of corruption, while he was Free State premier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magashule has denied any wrongdoing during his time as Free State premier and vowed to take legal action against the book author.– NNN-SA NEWS <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
