Speaking on the sidelines of the ANC’s January 8 celebrations in Alexandra, Johannesburg, on Sunday, spokesperson Lesego Makhubele insisted they would make a strong comeback.
"The ANC will never come to an end. The ANC is the people’s parliament, it's the people’s movement, it lives through the people. It’s the people that keep the ANC alive. All parties did not do well, and all provinces of the ANC did not do well."
