“You have the right to point a finger at me as your president and criticise me. We accept that,” said Ramaphosa.
The ANC president was engaging residents on day two of voter registration weekend as the country gears up for the 2021 local government elections on November 1.
Another resident who lives in Tekwane South told Ramaphosa that there was a deadly road that needed to be paved urgently. “Sometimes, yes, it takes time, and that is how governments work. They move very slowly, although we are trying to lessen the pain. But at the same time, this is a caring government - caring in the way it has been seeking to address the many problems.”
He said having the vote was a human right which they needed to exercise. “And of course you can vote for whoever you like, you can vote for any party. That is your basic human right also and your responsibility as a citizen of this country. Our government is always seeking and wants to correct and address the problems that we have in our country. This government is committed to doing so and it is a listening government.
