President Cyril Ramaphosa said the ANC was on renewal mode and called on supporters in Tshwane to give the party a chance at the polls to prove this.
PRETORIA – President Cyril Ramaphosa said that the African National Congress is not broken beyond repair and has asked voters to give the party a chance at the polls to prove this.
“These things take time and we want to make sure that people who have to be accountable are accountable - and they must be accountable - and all that needs to happen in terms of the rule of law.” In response to Magashule’s claims, Ramaphosa said: “I also suspected that my phone was bugged, there is no phone that is bugged.”
He spent Thursday morning at the Nedbank offices in Johannesburg, engaging with youth who are part of a programme that employed hundreds of people, giving them an opportunity in corporate business. “We have hit some buttons correctly but some we have not hit as correctly as we should have. We’ve now embarked on the process of renewal.”
“What we will need to do going forward is to see how we can strengthen it. As the restricting process unfolds, we don’t foresee the loss of jobs [at Eskom]. We want to make sure that we secure jobs.”On corruption, the president said: “It impacts on the poor than on people who are a little wealthier. What we’ve got to do is repair the institutions that were weakened.”
