President Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday said he believes that the upcoming local government election are going to unite and consolidate the ANC and its members.
“The ANC has always been thought of as being disunited and about to collapse. It is not going to happen and certainly not going to happen in my hands. The ANC will remain united,” said Ramaphosa.
“It was a wonderful NEC, dealing with a number of challenges such as the way the technical and organisational problems we experienced with the registration of our candidates, and we were all at one in dealing with those problems.” Asked why South Africans should continue to vote for a party plagued by factional conflict, alleged corruption and maladministration, Ramaphosa said: “The ANC is a very large organisation and it has a number of members and leaders and we are able to find one another where we have difference and we have been dealing with the challenges like any party goes through.
