ANC Launches Renewal Campaign to Regain Support in KwaZulu-Natal Amid Rising MK Party Influence

The African National Congress (ANC) has intensified its renewal campaign in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as it seeks to recover ground lost in the May elections. The party suffered a significant blow in the province, losing a substantial portion of its voter base to the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, led by former president Jacob Zuma. The MK Party has quickly established itself as a formidable political force in the region.

Addressing supporters during a meeting in Durban on Wednesday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula highlighted the importance of reconnecting with communities. He acknowledged the ANC’s past mistakes, including internal divisions and poor service delivery, which he said had alienated voters.

“The ANC remains the home of the people. Our task now is to reconnect with every citizen, address their concerns, and demonstrate that we are still the movement capable of leading South Africa to prosperity,” Mbalula said.

As part of its renewal drive, the ANC has launched an intensive door-to-door campaign aimed at rebuilding connections with residents, particularly in areas where support shifted to the MK Party. The campaign focuses on empowering local leaders to address pressing issues such as unemployment, service delivery failures, and crime.

The rise of the MK Party under Zuma’s leadership has significantly reshaped the political landscape in KZN. With its strong rhetoric emphasizing loyalty to liberation ideals and promises of improved governance, the party has captured a large portion of the ANC’s traditional support base.

While the MK Party has been accused of exploiting discontent within ANC ranks, its rapid growth has forced the ruling party to reevaluate its strategies. Analysts have noted that the ANC’s struggles in KZN reflect broader challenges the party faces across South Africa.

The renewal campaign, however, is not without obstacles. Internal factional conflicts continue to plague the ANC, while the MK Party maintains momentum by capitalizing on Zuma’s enduring popularity.

Despite these challenges, Mbalula expressed confidence in the ANC’s ability to regain voter trust. “The ANC has weathered storms before, and we will emerge stronger. This renewal is not just a slogan—it’s a commitment to the people of KZN and South Africa as a whole,” he said.

With the 2029 elections on the horizon, the ANC is determined to rebuild its support base in KwaZulu-Natal—a province critical to its electoral success. The outcome of the renewal campaign will likely shape the party’s future in KZN and beyond.
