=SACP URGES THE WORKERS AND THE POOR TO GO OUT IN THEIR MILLIONS TO VOTE THE ANC=

The South African Communist Party (SACP) would like to urge all our people, especially the workers and the poor, to go out in their numbers to vote and vote for the African National Congress (ANC).

As the SACP we say vote the ANC because, together with the mass of our people, the ANC-led government has:

and promoted their interests more than ever before
 * Provided millions more people with access to clean water, sanitation and electricity
 * Provided the aged and the children of our country with social grants


 * More people are now sheltered
 * More opportunities for education and training are being provided
 * Clinics and health centres are built and free medical care for the poor are being provided

But we insist as the SACP that more still has to be done and we should use our vote to ensure the realisation of the things we have not achieved so far.

Our people are still facing many challenges from unemployment to poverty and HIV/AIDS.

As the SACP we have mainly identified two main tasks facing us to realize our ideal society, those are:


 * A strong, unfied and developmental local government
 * Mobilisation and building of peoples power where we live

The SACP believes that there are a number of opportunities to be explored not only by Communists but by our communities in ensuring that we create better communities.

The ANC has adopted a code of conduct for its councillors:

All ANC councilors are expected to:


 * Serve the community
 * To stand without motives for material advantage or personal gain
 * To fight corruption
 * To listen to the people and to hold report back meetings at least four times a year
 * To live in the communities that has elected them
 * To be recalled if they fail to act according to this code of conduct

As the SACP we expect our cadres both in the local government system and outside to ensure that we equally revive the organs of peoples power to ensure the realisation of the objectives we set for ourselves, with and for the workers and the poor.
