Ramaphosa lays out his stall for a future presidency
South African presidential hopeful Cyril Ramaphosa laid out his stall to union leaders and business yesterday.
The deputy president, who is seeking election as president of the African National Congress (ANC) at December’s party conference, told the National Economic Development and Labour Council that action was needed against corruption that had made “the poor of this country … even poorer.”
“Good governance is a prerequisite for an effective developmental state and more sustained investment,” he said, “both of which are needed to fuel growth and job creation.”
