=ANC-GAUTENG PROVINCE TO LAUNCH PROVINCIAL IMVUSELELO CAMPAIGN=


 * 18th May 2006**

Guided by resolutions adopted at our 9th Provincial Conference held in December 2004 and the National General Council of July 2005, ANC Gauteng Province will launch Imvuselelo/Tsoseletso Campaign. The launch will be attended by our branch, regional and provincial leaders, representatives of the ANC Youth League, Women’s League, Alliance, veterans, MP’s, MPL’s and Councilors. The campaign will run for the next four months (with regular assessments) in all our branches.

The objectives of the Campaign are to:


 * Ensure dynamic contact between the leadership and membership on the one hand and on the other hand between the ANC branches and communities in which they are located.
 * Rebuild and revive all branches of the ANC, ANC YL and ANC WL and ensure they actively take up development issues affecting their communities.
 * Cultivate leadership qualities and ideological depth and improve basic organizational skills of branch activists so that they can sustain the political vibrancy, values and political culture of the movement in the new period.
 * Build proper branches or units in areas where we’ve made in-roads during the 2004 and 2006 Election Campaigns, especially among the white, Indian and coloured communities.
 * Grow the ANC through targeted recruitment, in strategic areas and sectors where our potential remains unexplored and ensure the membership of the province is at least 1% of the population of the province.
 * Ensure synergy between the ANC’s organizational and political work in communities and the work of our elected public representatives.
 * Improve the capacity of branches to lead the governance process at a local level such as the ward committees and the IDP process.
 * Integrate the volunteers into the day-to-day work of the ANC in communities and sustain their participation and political enthusiasm.
 * Strengthening the functioning of the Alliance structures at a local level and ensuring a common approach to community development challenges.

Details of the launch are as follows:

Date: Sunday, 21st May 2006. Venue: Wembley Indoor Stadium, Johannesburg.

Please note that there will be a closed session between 10H00 -12h00 to discuss several internal issues. This will be followed by a media briefing by the ANC Gauteng Provincial Secretary David Makhura at 12H00 on the entire campaign at the venue. Please confirm your attendance by Friday 19th May 2006.
