WATCH | Bheki Cele briefing on the eight women who were robbed and allegedly raped in Krugersdorp
This has to be the most haphazard address the president has ever given. He keeps jumping from one topic to the next only to later return to a similar issue.This policy conference needs to come up with measures that will give social protection to our people.So far limited progress has been made on compact with both business and labour saying the government is ignoring them.Ramaphosa says it is one of ANC’s foremost tasks to put together a social compact.
A capable developmental state is needed. We are rebuilding state capacity and a sense of a Batho pele.3h ago Ramaphosa says the part must use the work of the state capture commission, particularly its findings on the party to make a significant break from corruption and any wrongdoing that taints its image.What we need to do is to find ways of fighting the scourge of gender-based violence says Ramaphosa.
He added that the ANC Womens’ League was already leading the charge but urges other delegates also to add their input.We call on private sector to undertake an investment drive and make sure they come forward and invest to match the reforms we have made.How should we address putting together a national budget? Let's go beyond slogans and talkingDelegates will have ideas and proposals on how to solve these problems, says Ramaphosa opening the door to debate.
Ramaphosa appears to be ticking boxes but touching on a myriad of important issues without going too deep.Even Ramaphosa's brother-in-law is falling asleep. That's how long his opening address has been.
