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

“In some places they have done it well and have put my face and the local person’s face. But, what I found is that each time we have gone to a community, they know the candidate because they chose the candidate themselves and that has been the innovation and the creativity on the part of the ANC,” said Ramaphosa.

Ramaphosa was speaking on the sidelines of an election campaign in Tshikhudini in Thohoyandou alongside Limpopo premier, Stanley Mathabatha. The Sunday Times reported last week that the party had decided to use Ramaphosa’s face because it believed that his smile would secure the party an outright victory on November 1 when the country goes to the polls.

According to the report, a recent poll by the Institute of Race Relations showed that Ramaphosa is still the most popular political leader in the country and is more popular than the ANC.
