After being elected unopposed as President of the country in the National Assembly, Ramaphosa said while he would walk with kings and queens and work with captains of industry, he would do so "without losing the common touch of the masses of our people".
The president was responding to Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, who had earlier congratulated Ramaphosa but warned: "We have not elected the Ruperts, we have not elected the Oppenheimers. Listen to the collective wisdom of the people elected here, not to white monopoly capital." Ramaphosa replied during his acceptance speech: "Honouable Malema, my interest in serving our people will not be derived in serving special interest groups whoever they may be, you've named them."
The president also gave a commitment that his new administration would work closely with Parliament and all parties represented in the House. "As we enter the sixth democratic administration, please be assured of my personal commitment and the commitment of the incoming executive to fulfil these obligations of seeking consensus, of collaborating, of working together to find solutions to to all the challenges our country faces; to create conditions for meaningful social and economic transformation," Ramaphosa said.
Lies, the entire government is silent on crime.
The ANC is just like a bird that sings a song for the masses; a song they want to hear, while it's comrades steals all the seed they have. Nothing will change, oh wait - we will continue to be the poor working class and the corrupt will continue to get richer
Zuma did exactly the same but more importantly he was very very tough of corruption
Should be employment right?
Let's hope so
