THOUSANDS of African National Congress supporters will be gathered at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Limpopo on Saturday where the governing will celebrate its 110th birthday.
This is a milestone for the ANC, celebrating 11 decades since the party was formed in 1912.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to deliver the party’s annual January 8th birthday statement at 1 pm.
Addressing the media on the state of readiness, the head of organising Nomvula Mokonyane said that the official programme of the celebration will start at 11:30 am.
