ANC to embark on unannounced visits across the country: Mbalula

ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula addresses a media briefing on October 2, 2025 following the recent deliberations of the NWC.

African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula says the party will release its local government barometer to measure progress on the manifesto commitments.

He is briefing the media on the outcomes of the ANC National Working Committee.

The party’s councillors gathered for a roll call meeting in Johannesburg last month to address service delivery issues and prepare for the upcoming Local Government Elections in 2026.

Mbalula says the ANC remains committed to improving local governance and restoring public trust.

He says, “The ANC will embark on unannounced visits across the country to see first-hand the work being done to ensure service delivery in our communities. These visits will prioritise engagements with our people, will meet with communities first, listen to their concerns directly, and only thereafter will we engage counsellors and leadership structures in those areas.”
