I-African National Congress (ANC) imemezele ukuthi ukulethwa kwezinsizakalo emikhakheni yezindlu, amanzi kanye namandla kuthuthukile kusukela okhethweni lukahulumeni basekhaya lwango-2021, yembula izinhlelo ezintsha futhi yaqala umbukiso kazwelonke wokugqamisa lezi zinguquko. Ekhuluma ngomhlaka-16 Agasti 2026, izikhulu zeqembu zikhombe intuthuko yakamuva njengobufakazi boshintsho oluhle, naphezu kwezinselelo eziqhubekayo kanye nokulahlekelwa okhethweni kusukela ngo-2021.<\/p>\n

Izinhlelo Zamuva kanye Nesu Le-Party<\/h4>\n

Ukulungiselela ukhetho lohulumeni basekhaya luka-2026, i-ANC yethule inombolo yamahhala yocingo futhi yathumela amaqembu obuchwepheshe aphendula ngokushesha ngoJanuwari ukubhekana nezikhalazo zomphakathi ezihlobene nokwehluleka kwezinsizakalo, ngokusho kwe-Citizen kanye nezitatimende zeqembu ezisemthethweni. Ngomhlaka-21 Ephreli, i-ANC yaqala umbukiso kazwelonke kuwo wonke omasipala abakhulu bedolobha ukuze ibonise impumelelo yayo ekulethweni kwezinsizakalo ezingeni lomphakathi.<\/p>\n

UFikile Mbalula, uNobhala Jikelele we-ANC, ukhulume ngendlela iqembu elisebenza ngayo ngokuthi, \u201cSenze abantu kuleli lizwe babe nesihlalo esisodwa, bomeya. Ingabe sinokukhetha? Asinakho, kufanele sicule kanye nathi. Ngisho noma sazi ukuthi sinamakhono, kodwa ukuze sibuse, siyamdinga lowo muntu.\u201d Amazwi akhe, ashiwo ngesikhathi sombukiso oqhubekayo, abhekisela kwezombusazwe ezibucayi zobumbano kanye nesikhundla samanje seqembu ezinhlakeni zokuphatha komasipala.<\/p>\n

Ukusebenza Kokhetho Nezexwayiso Eziqhubekayo<\/h4>\n

Naphezu kwezinsolo ze-ANC zokuthuthuka, idatha esemthethweni yokhetho lokuchibiyela ikhombisa ukuthi iqembu lilahlekelwe amawadi kamasipala angaba ngu-40 ngenxa yabancintisana nabo okubalwa kubo i-IFP, i-EFF, i-MK Party, i-PA, kanye ne-DA kusukela okhethweni lwango-2021. Lo mkhuba ufana nokhetho lomasipala olunzima lwango-2021, lapho ukwesekwa kwe-ANC kwancishiswa khona ukunganeliseki komphakathi ngokulethwa kwezinsizakalo kanye nezinsolo zenkohlakalo, njengoba kwavunywa yiqembu ngaleso sikhathi.<\/p>\n

UMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa, ekhuluma namakhansela e-ANC ngomhlaka-15 Septhemba 2025, waxwayisa, \u201cKungaba ukulethwa kwezinsizakalo noma ukufa.\u201d Lesi sitatimende sigcizelele ingcindezi yangaphakathi eqhubekayo yokuletha intuthuko ebonakalayo noma ingozi yokwehla kokhetho okuqhubekayo. Izikhulu eziphezulu ze-ANC ziqaphele obala ukuthi ukungasebenzi kahle okuqhubekayo komasipala kubeka engcupheni ukuma kweqembu kuzwelonke ngaphambi kokhetho luka-2026.<\/p>\n

Umongo Obanzi Womkhankaso Wokulethwa Kwezinsizakalo ze-ANC<\/h4>\n

Ukugxila kabusha kwe-ANC ekulethweni kwezinsizakalo kulandela isikhathi sezikhalazo eziqhubekayo ngezinsizakalo eziyisisekelo kanye nokungaqiniseki okukhulu kohulumeni basekhaya. Ngenkathi iqembu seliqalise ukungenelela okufana nocingo oluphuthumayo kanye namaqembu obuchwepheshe, imizwa yabavoti isalokhu ihlobene kakhulu nengqalasizinda ebonakalayo, ukuhlinzekwa kukagesi okuqhubekayo, ukufinyelela kwamanzi ahlanzekile, kanye nezindlu ezanele. Amaqembu aphikisayo asebenzise lobu buthakathaka, aqeda izinqaba ze-ANC okhethweni lwakamuva, ikakhulukazi eGauteng naKwaZulu-Natali.<\/p>\n

Njengoba ukhetho lohulumeni basekhaya luka-2026 lusondela, ubuholi beqembu bubhekene nokuhlolisiswa okukhulu mayelana nokuthi ngabe izinhlelo zakamuva zizoletha yini intuthuko elinganisekayo futhi zisize ekuvimbeleni ukulahlekelwa ezindaweni zokuvota. I-ANC kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke nemizamo yokukhombisa impumelelo kanye nokubhekana nokushiyeka ngaphambi kokuvota.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
