ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa has stressed that renewal is top priority to rebuild public trust in the party.
Ramaphosa addressed community members in Ward 21, Boitekong, in the North West.
The visit forms part of activities leading up to the ANC’s 114th birthday celebrations, which is set to take place in Moruleng on Saturday.
As part of the programme, President Ramaphosa has been engaging in a series of community-based activities aimed at interacting directly with residents and party structures.
Ramaphosa says the ANC must rid itself of bad habits and corruption for renewal.
“ANC must be renewed. ANC must be united. It must have leadership that will work for the nation. Not leadership that will serve their own interests. It must have leadership that loves the nation. Not the leadership that will put their interests first. It must not be the ANC of the leadership that will steal public funds. It must not be the ANC of lazy leaders,” says Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa says the ANC’s National Executive Committee will determine how best to resolve the ongoing challenges facing troubled municipalities in the North West, ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
“We will discuss our dysfunctional municipalities, especially most of municipalities in the North West. Municipalities in the North West are just a disaster. We will discuss how we will fix the municipalities, especially now that we are headed to the local government elections. So, the National Executive Committee will determine how we take our country forward.”
