Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The week-long celebrations are expected to include door-to-door campaigns before a massive rally, with the ANC expected to use the occasion to punt itself for the upcoming 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n

The African National Congress (ANC) in Mpumalanga said it\u2019s all systems go as the province prepares to host the party\u2019s birthday celebrations at the start of the coming week.<\/p>\n

Scores of ANC supporters are expected to join party leaders in Mbombela for the annual January 8 celebrations.<\/p>\n

The governing party turns 112 this year amid governance, financial and operational troubles.<\/p>\n

The week-long celebrations are expected to include door-to-door campaigns before a massive rally, with the ANC expected to use the occasion to punt itself for the upcoming 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n

Mpumalanga ANC secretary, Muzi Chirwa, said preparations for the event were on track.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all systems go. We are waiting for the SG [Fikile Mbalula], who is going to take stock of all the issues that we are going through, and the SG is going to convene a media briefing tomorrow [Friday]. We are working as normally as possible, we are on point in terms of the preparations. The programme has been finalised by the SG\u2019s office and deployment has been finalised.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former ANC stalwart, Jacob Zuma, is tipped to steal the show when he leads a parallel rally in Mpumalanga under the banner of newcomer, MK party.<\/p>\n

Chirwa remained mum on how the region has reacted to Zuma\u2019s move to campaign for the new political outfit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat matter will be addressed by the secretary-general. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a matter that phases the ANC as we are preparing for the January 8. We are preparing our event and we don\u2019t want to mix it with any other event outside of the ANC.\u201d<\/p>\n
