Throughout all the challenges the ANC has been going through and has gone through, my observation is that we are still the dependable political movement for the advancement of Black people in general and Africans in particular and democratic South Africans.Mboweni shared his tweet during the celebration of former president Thabo Mbeki’s 80th birthday on Saturday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa talked about the importance of preserving the integrity of the ruling party. “It is important we remember why we were elected. We have not been elected to serve our own ends or interests. We were not elected to betray the founding values of our constitution and we were not elected to give false hope and empty promises,” said Ramaphosa.
He said the government is working hard to claim the party and country back from charlatans and thieves, to rebuild the state and restore the economy to enable people to lead lives of dignity.“The democracy you helped build, of which you are a founding father, will rise to reach its full potential in your lifetime. I have no less than utmost confidence that as we strive to do so, we can count on your support as a servant of our people,” said Ramaphosa.
