ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday said he was not worried that his face and not those of ward candidates has dominated the party’s election posters during this local government election campaign
Ramaphosa said getting the community involved in choosing their local candidate was part of the ANC’s renewal process.
He said the ANC had moved away from choosing councillors for communities. “For me that has been a muscle stroke on our part and it makes us more accountable, more responsive and responsible to the community. So we are no longer using the community as voting fodder, they must participate. So that has been a great innovation,” said Ramaphosa.
