Former tourism minister and ANC stalwart Derek Hanekom has come to party president Cyril Ramaphosa's defence, suggesting Ramaphosa's critics will eat their words after December when he “starts his second term”.
This comes after ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini this week warned of the dire consequences if Ramaphosa is elected for a second term at the party’s 55th elective conference in December. “We have never experienced this.
