Political Ideas / Achievements Goals & Ambitions for the country
I subscribed to the values and principles of justice, fairness and transparency. I want to make an immense contribution to realising equality, job creation and poverty alleviation.
I cherish a moment where my movement, the ANC restores its traditions and culture of democratic centralism, unity and discipline.
The ANC is the parliament of the people and therefore its underpinning philosophy of consultation, engagement and collectivism must be embraced.
The dignity and decorum of Parliament, which represents the general wellbeing of the people, be restored and advanced.
