| Cyril Ramaphosa concedes that Indian, coloured and white citizens have been ignored after 1994

President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking at the United Democratic Front's 40th-anniversary event, conceded that Indian, coloured and white citizens 'feel excluded' in South Africa's political life, saying the ANC was also to blame.

Ramaphosa was speaking at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the non-racial, anti-apartheid organisation, the United Democratic Front.

Ramaphosa addressed the UDF's anniversary celebrations at the Johannesburg City Hall on Sunday, where the event's theme was about reigniting non-racialism and active citizenship to reclaim the supremacy of the country's constitutional democracy, which speakers at the event warned was"in peril". The UDF was formed in August 1983 in response to banned political formations and the apartheid government's constitutional amendment plans to create lower houses, consisting of only Indian and coloured citizens in the then parliament, further excluding black Africans, and dividing the marginalised races.
