‘We are also mindful that we can’t go overboard when our own staff members have not been paid. We also can’t go overboard when some of their benefits have not been paid’
The ANC will be frugal in its spending on the January 8 celebrations as the party cannot be seen to be overspending when it has been struggling to This is according to the party’s head of organising‚ Nomvula Mokonyane. She was addressing the media on the state of readiness ahead of the party’s 110th birthday celebration at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, on Saturday.
“We are also mindful that we can’t go overboard when our own staff members have not been paid. We also can’t go overboard when some of their benefits have not been paid.” The number of attendees has been capped at 2‚000 due to Covid-19 regulations. In 2021, the January 8 celebrations were cancelled due to Covid-19 and the 2021 anniversary rally was held virtually for the first time.
“What we remain humbled about is that the team that’s working is not a team that is outsourced — it is still the ANC workers‚ who are not paid. It is still them volunteering‚ availing themselves to make sure that this event does take place and it becomes successful. And for that‚ those of us who are elected will remain indebted to them because they show that over and above being employees of the ANC‚ they have a political obligation and organisational responsibility to help rebuild the party.
