“Surely anyone who is serious about the country, anyone who is serious about the future of our people, you can’t think far from a person like President Cyril Ramaphosa, and I can tell you, it’s not a question of us trying to be relevant or campaign, it’s a question of principle,” Mabuyane told journalists shortly after his re-election on Monday.
He said Ramaphosa showed courage by being the first ANC president to take seriously and implement the party’s “renewal” resolution. “I am not sure what the conference will say but I know people of Eastern Cape, including members of the ANC in the Eastern Cape, would love to see the president going forward,” he said, responding to a question on whether the provincial conference sitting in East London would express support for the president.
“This country needs the calibre of a president we have. This issue of trust deficit, the concerns that people have been raising, these issues have been out there. There is one president that has lifted a finger to say, ‘I am willing, even if myself as a president I am also thrown under the bus, but I am willing that the ANC must change’.He said the ANC could not survive “this chop and changing, this excitement of king makers who are toing and froing”.
Mabuyane was re-elected by 812 votes on Monday morning to retain the Eastern Cape provincial chair position.
