ANC Chair Defends Social Grant Claims | Johannesburg News

ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe fires back at critics, defending his campaign remarks that spotlight the party’s social grant and housing legacy — calling them essential tools for national transformation, not vote-buying. He reminds voters of ANC’s record on free schooling, RDP homes, and child support grants, framing them as lifelines against poverty and inequality. Mantashe insists citizens should appreciate the value of these assets — like homes worth 250k — while reaffirming the ANC’s commitment to policy delivery, regardless of electoral winds. With local elections looming November 4, he urges voters to recognize the party’s role in building a more equal society.
