Johannesburg - The ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Saturday presented a socially-orientated election manifesto that promises South Africans jobs, food security, improved education and health services and lower crime levels.

ANC President Jacob Zuma launched the program at a rally in the city of East London attended by around 20,000 party supporters. "We will retain those strategies and practices that have been successful, but will change or improve those that have not delivered optimal results," Zuma said.
