The African National Congress has hung the party’s first election posters in the conservative Northern Cape Afrikaner stronghold of Oranje.
The ruling party’s youth league leader, Juluis Malema addressed representatives of the community on Saturday.
Although both parties agreed that not all off Oranje’s isolation issues have been resolved, the door remained open for the ruling party to hold further discussions.
An estimated 700 residents live in the town but the only sign of them was when they peered out of their windows from behind their curtains.
Malema stuck firm to his promise to campaign freely in all areas of the country but he only did so after lengthy discussions with Oranje community leaders.
Oranje movement President Carl Boshoff said having Malema visit the town helped dispel some of the fears about the country’s black led government.
He said although Oranje residents were not ready to stop protecting their way of life, by isolating themselves from the general population, the doors would always be open for further discussions with the ANC.
