The objective of the assignment South Africa is holding national and
provincial elections on 29 May 2024. Every election's success depends on
several factors, including an accessible, open, non-violent political atmosphere
for political parties to campaign to persuade voters to vote for them.
Campaigning organisations, according to Tench and Yeomans (2009:561), can
be defined as “groups of people who share a common interest or concern and
have come together to do something about it – whether to march, raise funds,
change public policy, prevent something from happening”. Political parties
fall within the category of campaigning organisations and engage in public
relations activities to persuade voters to vote for them. As a PR strategist, you
have been approached by the new political party that wishes to participate in
the 2024 General Elections, which requires publicity to attract members and
voters. The party’s executive committee asked you to develop a public
relations campaign. Develop a detailed strategic plan for public relations
using your knowledge from this module and other modules.
