ANC big guns phone voters
RANDBURG – Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Mayor Parks Tau and MEC Paul Mashatile pay a visit to the ANC call centre and surprise voters.
Gauteng voters were caught by surprise when the Deputy President, the Mayor of the City of Joburg and MEC of Human Settlements and Co-operative Governance phoned them out of the blue.
The trio paid a visit to the call centre in Dover Street Randburg, last week where over twenty call centre agents call about 5 000 voters every day and ask them to cast their vote for the African National Congress on 3 August.
Cyril Ramaphosa, Parks Tau and Paul Mashatile joined the call centre agents to call potential voters in light of the looming municipal elections.

Ramaphosa said that he had noted the concerns of the voters who expressed their problems to him over the phone. “I spoke to a woman who said that she had been on the housing list for a long time and I assured her that we are working on it and that she would get her house eventually,” he said.
He pointed out that they were rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in the election campaign. “Our job is to ensure that our key objective is to make lives easier throughout the country,” he added.
Paul Mashatile said that it was good to talk to the voters who he said had expressed confidence in the ANC. “Some of the people I spoke to did not believe that it was me at first but after some time I got positive responses,” he said.
Mayor Parks Tau said that he had assured the callers that they were hands on deck to enable the process of further development to continue.
