The African National Congress (ANC) recently unveiled its manifesto for the 2026 elections, outlining crucial priorities and promises aimed at propelling South Africa towards a more prosperous and equitable future. The ANC’s 2026 election manifesto was launched in KwaZulu-Natal at Moses Mabhida Stadium this weekend.
President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized six critical focus areas designed to accelerate transformation and enhance the well-being of the nation’s citizens. The manifesto outlines a roadmap for progress from addressing the energy crisis to combating crime and corruption. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the highlights from the ANC’s 2026 election manifesto launch.
The ANC’s 2026 Election Manifesto – Core Focus Areas:
1. Energy Crisis Resolution:
The ANC vows to address the pressing energy crisis, characterized by frequent load shedding. Immediate solutions will be pursued alongside efforts to ensure long-term energy security. Strategies include ramping up maintenance at existing power plants, securing new power generation capacity, and exploring alternative energy sources.
2. Job Creation:
With a commitment to creating and sustaining 2,5 million jobs over the next five years, the ANC’s manifesto prioritizes infrastructure development, industrialization, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
3. Economic Transformation:
The ANC aims to diversify and modernize the economy by emphasising inclusive economic growth to redress historical inequalities. Focus areas include labour-intensive manufacturing and increased local production.
4. Combating Crime and Corruption:
Strengthening the criminal justice system, boosting funding for community safety initiatives, and intensifying the fight against corruption are central to the ANC’s manifesto objectives.
5. Service Delivery:
Enhancing basic service delivery is a cornerstone of the ANC’s plans, with a focus on ensuring reliable water and sanitation infrastructure, accelerating housing projects, and advancing land redistribution efforts.
Other Notable Points:
In addition to the core focus areas, the ANC manifesto touches upon several other significant points:
- Prescribed Assets: Exploring methods to direct financial institutions towards investing in infrastructure development and the broader economy.
- National Health Insurance (NHI): Reaffirming the commitment to implementing universal healthcare through the National Health Insurance programme.
- Social Relief: Extending social assistance programmes, including the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
- Education Reform: Prioritising quality education and increased funding for the education sector.
The ANC’s Promise
“Our approach to implementing this manifesto aims to bridge the gap between manifesto commitments and concrete action. By embedding the manifesto in core government planning and allocating resources accordingly, the ANC aims to achieve its goals of poverty eradication, reduced inequality, and decreased unemployment.”
