Elections2019: ‘We want people we elect to work for you, not steal’
Durban - President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised that those who are entrusted with public monies after the May 8 elections will not steal but deliver to voters.
“Another change we are looking for is that after the elections we want people you are going to elect to work for you, and not people who are going to enrich themselves. They should not steal money instead of working for the community,” he said.“On May 8 when you vote, just imagine me being present at the voting station,” he said.
Ramaphosa said the ANC would continue to provide free houses for the poor, noting 4.3 million houses had already been built since 1994. “In other countries I visit in Africa, governments build houses and sell them. If they build a house you must pay whereas in our country we get houses for free,” he said.
