Speaking in KwaMashu, Ramaphosa said the ANC would win the elections. He urged the youth to vote for the ruling party to ensure it remained in power.
“Our people have received housing. When I look at other countries during my travels in Africa and elsewhere, I have found out that although many countries build houses, they sell it to the people, whereas we build houses at a cost of R160 000 each and give them to the people free. Earlier in the day, Ramaphosa had been on a door-to-door campaign in KwaMashu and he said that the elderly were thankful that the ANC governments, from Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe to Jacob Zuma, had provided them with housing and pensions.
“We want to show everyone that in the next administration we mean business. We will be all about implementation. There will be less talking. The first day will be about working from national down to provincial level because talking time is over now. This is now the time to implement the decisions we have taken over the past 25 years,” Ramaphosa said.
