RISE Mzansi has intensified its preparations for the 2024 elections with a visible presence at Jubilee Mall in Hammanskraal, Tshwane, on Saturday, 2 December.
Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, the national chairwoman for the party led the party's visibility campaign, distributing pamphlets, interacting with the public, and encouraging people to register as supporters.
"We are presenting a political alternative to South Africans. We are handing out flyers, talking to people about the movement and registering people to sign up as supporters," she said.
Ramokgopa said every week they are recruiting over 20 000 new supporters.
She said they have 300 activations happening nationwide, including in Hammanskraal.
"Hammanskraal is faced with a lot of service delivery issues and one main issue is the quality of water. This place is close to our hearts. We stand with the people of Hammanskraal in dealing with service delivery," she said.

Planning to contest nationally and in all nine provinces, Rise Mzansi is committed to restoring effective leadership by combating corruption, fostering accountability, and promoting competence.
"We are tired of corrupt leaders, lack of accountability in politics and incompetent leaders. We want to find the best leaders who will represent communities under Rise Mzansi in parliament," she said.
Ramokgopa said South Africa needs a reset with a national vision and purpose.
"It's time to restore credibility into political leadership. Bring decent caring leaders and bring politics that is for the people," she said.
Ramokgopa said they are calling on South Africans to help them take it to the next level.
Rise Mzansi Gauteng provincial convener Tebogo Moalusi said they want to build a safe, prosperous, equal, and united South Africa in one generation.
"Gauteng is no longer the place of hope and prosperity. You can't create jobs without a growing economy," he said.
In criticising the current government's approach, Andries Maphoso, rank manager at Jubilee Mall said: "The current government is not taking us seriously."
