Despite coming out of a difficult 2016, ANC supporters who attended the party’s 105th anniversary celebrations expressed their confidence in the party’s ability to turn its fortunes around.
Amidst wet and cold weather, supporters from across the country came out in their numbers to fill the 40 000 seater Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
The ANC’s birthday celebrations come after a difficult 2016 which saw a shock decrease in the party’s support during the municipal elections. The party, which had 62% of the national vote in 2011, saw a decrease to 54% in 2016.
