Statement issued by ANC ahead of President Jacob Zuma's visit to the Eastern Cape
As the ANC from all corners of the province is expecting thousands of ANC members and supporters in its January rally in Dutywa on the 26th, we call upon maximum discipline, good conduct and order in the stadium.
As the province, we are known for the high levels of discipline and we cannot allow that reputation to be compromised. The high level security organised for the event is prepared to deal with any unbecoming conduct, booing and hooliganism that will disturb the ANC program on the day.
We therefore call upon the maximum discipline to all those who will attend the rally.
Any ANC member and supporter has a responsibility to detect any planned action and immediately inform the leadership and security. We must allow not only the ANC President but all speakers on the day to deliver their message without disturbing. All those found with the intent or disturbing the program will be arrested by the police and ANC members found will be charged and disciplined.
We also call upon all interested to attend the rally to contact the ANC regional offices for transport and information to the rally, Eastern Cape people must go and listen to the president about what the ANC has done and about the future plans on how to take South Africa forward.
