ANC Western Cape Provincial Task Team Convenor Jerimia Thuynsma addressed the media in Cape Town on Friday, outlining the party's strategy ahead of the November 4, 2026 Local Government Elections.
The ANC is intensifying its campaign for the November 4 Local Government Elections, targeting five key municipalities, including the City of Cape Town, in a bid to end the DA's control over local government in the Western Cape.
Addressing a media briefing on Friday, ANC Western Cape Provincial Task Team Convenor Jerimia Thuynsma said the party has entered the final phase of selecting candidates and was focusing on municipalities where it believes it can make significant electoral gains.
Thuynsma identified Cape Town, Drakenstein, Stellenbosch, Saldanha Bay, and Laingsberg as strategic municipalities where the ANC's National Executive Committee (NEC) is directly overseeing the selection of mayoral candidates.
He said branch nominations had largely been completed across the province, while interviews for proportional representation (PR) candidates were currently under way.
