Events & Campaigns

Our Caucus is not confined to the parliament chamber – we are active in the streets and communities of the Western Cape. From public meetings to protest marches, we believe change happens when people stand together. Here are some upcoming events and ongoing campaigns where you can join us and make your voice heard:

Upcoming Event: People’s Assembly in Khayelitsha – Date: 15 March 2026 @ 10:00 AM. Join us at OR Tambo Community Hall for a public town hall meeting. This People’s Assembly is a platform for residents to speak directly with ANC Caucus members about issues like housing, sanitation, and youth unemployment. We encourage community members from Khayelitsha and surrounding areas to attend, share your stories, and hear what your representatives are doing in response. Your input will shape the questions we ask and the motions we introduce in the legislature. (Free entry, all are welcome!)

Campaign Spotlight: #SafeCommunitiesNow – We have launched a province-wide Safety Campaign calling for urgent action against gang violence, gender-based violence, and drugs plaguing our communities. Under the banner #SafeCommunitiesNow, the ANC Caucus is organizing neighborhood safety patrols, community dialogues with police and youth, and legislative interventions to push for more resources to high-crime areas. This campaign has seen us picket police stations that fail to respond to community needs, demand better coordination between SAPS and provincial authorities, and even introduce a motion in the Legislature for the establishment of a special Gang Prevention Task Force. Safety is a basic right – together, let’s reclaim our streets. Keep an eye on our updates for the next rally or door-to-door safety awareness drive in your area

ant to know what else is on the horizon? Our Events & Campaigns page is regularly updated with new activities– from volunteer training workshops to mass mobilizations. We invite you to stand with us as we fight for social justice in every corner of the Western Cape.)

Volunteer:

Your time and skills can help empower our communities. Sign up as a volunteer to assist with Caucus outreach programs, community events, and campaigns. Whether you can help organize a local meeting, distribute pamphlets, or lend a hand at our community clean-up days, volunteers are the heart of our activist movement. We provide orientation and training – everyone has something to contribute!

Join the ANC:

Become a member of the African National Congress and be part of the change you want to see. Joining the ANC means you’ll be connected to your local branch and can influence policy from the ground up. As a member, you can participate in branch meetings, help elect leaders, and vote on important issues. Our strength is in our membership – the more people join, the stronger the voice for pro-people policies in the Western Cape. (We’ve provided a downloadable membership form in the Resources section, or visit any ANC branch office to sign up.)

Petitions & Surveys:

Have your say on issues that matter. We frequently host petitions to put pressure on authorities for urgent changes (for example, fixing a hazardous roadway or stopping a school closure), and conduct surveys to gather public input on policy questions. Check our website and social media for active petitions you can sign and surveys you can fill out. This is a direct way to make your voice heard and help shape our Caucus’s priorities. Every signature counts and every opinion matters

Youth & Branch Outreach:

Youth empowerment and local organization are key to our movement. We encourage young people to get involved through the ANC Youth League and our Caucus’s internship and mentorship opportunities. If you’re a student or young activist, connect with us to learn about youth forums, leadership workshops, and internships in the Caucus where you can learn how governance works. Likewise, we work closely with ANC branches and alliance structures in 6 every community – so if you’re already in the ANC or an alliance partner, come to our Caucus open briefings and branch report-backs. Grassroots structures are where people power lives. Plug in, organize, and let’s transform our communities together.
