Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the head of the African Content Movement (ACM), claims that social grants are the main factor in the ruling party’s ability to influence voters. People must have jobs and be compensated more, according to Motsoeneng. He claims that relying on social subsidies for everyone in society is unsustainable.
Speaking at the QwaQwa, Free State, the introduction of his party’s implementation plan, Motsoeneng assured the crowd of the benefits they would receive from electing him to office.
Voters, according to Motsoeneng, have the choice between voting for falsehoods and hunger or life.
He criticizes the ANC for allegedly deceiving locals for years, claiming that his party is bringing action and change. Motsoeneng thinks that the high unemployment rate is the root cause of all societal evils in South Africa.
The ACM leader says the country needs investors who will stimulate the economy and help create employment. And that can only be achieved if the basics, including roads, electricity, and water, are in place.
Motsoeneng elaborates, “So, what we need to do in South Africa, is attract investors. You know the solution for South Africa is to attract local and international investors. How do we attract them, We must fix electricity, water, and roads. If we do those, investors will run to South Africa.”
ACM supporters say they see Motsoeneng as a sympathetic leader. They believe that because he hails from QwaQwa, he will be able to understand their struggles.
They had this to say:
“I trust and believe in our leader, he has shown that he can deliver.”
“Our president is a real man, he is the man of his word. I know he can deliver what he promised.”
“He is the son who was born in QwaQwa, We are facing many challenges now, and I say to everyone that this is the right time, Please go on the 29th.”
The ACM asked for people to give it three years to deliver on its promises. The party leader has vowed that if he fails to deliver, he will resign.
“For me, after six months, I deal with a budget; after that, what else? Implementation, you will just implement, I don’t consult a lot. I can’t consult about people not having employment and consult people whether they have water or electricity.”
Motsoeneng promised that under his leadership, every ward would have a factory to employ both the educated and uneducated.
