ANC Celebrates 112th Anniversary with Crowdfunding Appeal
The Mbombela Stadium in Mbombela, Mpumalanga is hosting the ANC‘s 112th anniversary celebrations. President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the event as the keynote speaker later today. Hundreds of buses and minibusses from Gauteng, North West, and Mpumalanga were seen transporting attendees to the venue. Joyful ANC supporters, dressed in party regalia, danced and sang along to popular music playing from vehicle stereos.
The ANC, having been in existence for 112 years, has turned to crowdfunding. This is not the first time the party has used this approach, as they also did so in 2019. ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa announced the crowdfunding appeal at a gala dinner on Friday.
The ANC’s request for public support is a significant development as they aim to replenish their coffers. Crowdfunding has become a popular method for organizations to raise funds directly from the public.
Supporters and members of the ANC are expected to respond to the crowdfunding appeal to demonstrate their commitment to the party’s goals and ideals. The ANC has played a significant role in South African politics since its inception, and their anniversary celebrations serve as a moment for reflection and renewed determination.
As the ANC celebrates its 112th anniversary, the Mbombela Stadium stands as a vibrant symbol of unity and solidarity for the party and its supporters. The event is a testament to the endurance and longevity of the ANC as a political force in South Africa.
