ANC’s Deputy Secretary-General Nomvula Mokonyane says partners in the Government of National Unity (GNU) must hold each other accountable.

Mokonyane spoke to the media after a site visit to the Mandela Park sports field in Khayelitsha, where the party will have its 113-th celebrations.

ANC big wigs have been spread out in the Western Cape this week, to have public engagements with its supporters.

Mokonyane says information gathered this week, like the living conditions of people, must be taken up with GNU partner, the Democratic Alliance.

“We really believe the party that runs Western Cape and Cape Town doesn’t know where our people live and they don’t care. If you just look at Philippi and Kwa-Langa, the collapse. People say rubbish never collected, they have given in, it’s hopeless, so we must also use this GNU to hold each other accountable.”

Mokonyane also says crime has been one of the major issues raised during the party’s visit to the Western Cape this week.

Mokonyane says one of the party members was also a victim of crime during one of the events.

“Last night, at place called Samora, just as we arrived, one comrade robbed of cellphone, but community as part of reclaiming the night anti-crime campaign, managed to apprehend the individual and we managed to get our cellphone brought back to us.”
