Ramaphosa: ANC won't disappoint those who vote for partyRamaphosa promised that African National Congress (ANC) members responsible for state capture or found guilty of corruption would not be part of his Cabinet or Parliament. Because they have already And let’s hypothetically say we are disappointed,what recourse do we have to register this disappointment? Maybe we can monitor your shock at our disappointment, while we wait for new commissions and processes. That should be 2015, Just in time for the MYANC next round of bs The ANC will ONLY disappoint those who vote for the party. The rest of us are expecting more of the same neglect and corruption...
