The governing party's lineup of potential MPs includes figures seen as central to the rot of the Zuma years
This time last year there was so much hope. Cyril Ramaphosa had been president of the republic for just over a month. The rand was surging and confidence among businesses and consumers was on the up. It was a period that became known as Ramaphoria.
The picture from the property sector has not been encouraging either, with the head of the country’s biggest listed real estate company, Growthpoint, saying potential tenants were unwilling to make long-term commitments, leading to landlords slashing prices. Considering what he has achieved so far in first exposing corruption through the various commissions, and then seeking to revive institutions like the National Prosecution Authority , Ramaphosa may feel hard done by. He also hosted successful investment and job summits in 2018. These will only bear fruit in the longer term, according to RMB chief economist Etienne le Roux, so the president probably has a strong argument for patience.
