The foundation hoped Ramaphosa would appoint a “streamlined, competent, and capable cabinet, devoid of disgraced politicians linked to state capture and corruption”.
The incoming government must take urgent steps to stabilise the economy, secure investor confidence, create jobs, restore public faith in state institutions, and entrench the principles of non-racialism,” the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation said on Saturday.
As an independent observer to the electoral process, the Kathrada Foundation was satisfied that the elections were credible and free and fair, the foundation’s executive director Neeshan Balton said in a statement on Saturday. “The competitive participation of parties in the elections, and their commitment to adhering to electoral processes, is in effect a support for constitutional democracy.
A streamlined cabinet would also allow for more experienced members of parliament to serve in the national legislature and help contribute to restoring the credibility of parliament, which was severely compromised by the state capture project, he said.
