Ramaphosa addressed the nation for the last time before the 2024 elections, praising his administration’s accomplishments over the past five years.

President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation one last time before the 2024 elections, praising his administration’s successes over the past five years.

He also mentioned the 20,000-fold increase in the number of police on the street over the last two years and the establishment of specialised task teams to tackle illegal mining, cable theft, cash-in-transit heists, gangsterism, and other economic crimes. Some of these issues include the worst year of load shedding in the country’s history in 2023, major port and rail bottlenecks that cost businesses and the economy billions of rands, and the ailing infrastructure that has caused other crises, such as water supply issues in parts of Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal that have left households without water for weeks at a time.

Looking at some of the latest election indicators, investors polled by Krutham expect the ANC to win about 45.5% of the vote, while earlier surveys by other companies predicted a share of as little as 37%.
