This, as the ANC has started a 30-day countdown to the party’s 107 years anniversary celebrations which are set to be hosted in Kimberley in the Northern Cape on 8 January 2020.

Today marks 29 days before thousands of ANC members will be expected to fill up the Tafel Lager Park Stadium in Kimberley. The celebration will take place from 8 to 11 January 2020 and are expected to be a boost for the Northern Cape’s economy. The organisation’s president, who is also the president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be expected to make the January 8 statement during the main event, that outlines the organisation’s programme for the year.

The previous round of celebrations was hosted in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The Moses Mabhida stadium was packed with an estimated 68 000 people in black, green, and gold. On the day, the organisation also launched its official 2019 general elections campaign.

The Northern Cape previously hosted these celebrations in 2010, when the organisation was celebrating its 98-year anniversary. The president of the organisation was still Jacob Zuma.
