Our immediate task is to ensure the overwhelming victory of the ANC in the forthcoming national general elections.
Different political parties across our country are gearing themselves for the national general elections to be held next year. The national general elections will also coincide with the 20th anniversary celebrations of the achievements of our democratic government.
Our elections are taking place against the background of the most hostile and aggressive international balance of forces. There is a world wide counter revolutionary strategy to undermine the leadership of national liberation movements who led victories of the struggles of our people in the former colonies and semi colonies.
Imperialism and neo colonial forces have even determined a framework of a twenty years period as a barometer to measure the fate of democratic governments led by national liberation movements in the former colonies and semi colonies. The reason why the coalition of forces opposed to the transformation of our country is throwing tantrums that the ANC led government has nothing to show after twenty years in power.
In our country the Democratic Alliance in collaboration with both the domestic white monopoly capital and international monopoly capital, is at an offensive to undermine the tremendous socio economic achievements gained by the ANC led government. What they can not explain are the measuring tools they are employing as a yardstick to evaluate the work of our national democratic revolution.
The momentum for the elections is taking place against the background of the growing perceptions of corruption under the leadership of the ANC led government. All the forces of counter revolution have converged around this as the core message for their elections campaign.
