His second visit to Mangaung has raised the hopes of desperate residents - who came out in their numbers despite inclement weather to meet and hear what the President had to say.
“Through this campaign, we will be listening to the needs of our people, we will be addressing the needs of our people. We will be amongst our people, we will be working with our people. We will be doing things with them, and we are now saying let us join hands in a usual way that we have done before," he said.
