'The ANC would be where it is today. People have voted the ANC. People are not voting for any person.' - Magashule

Magashule, speaking during a press conference at the IEC National Results Operations Centre in Pretoria said party supporters voted for the party not an individual.

Asked about comments made by ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula that the party may have lost the elections had Ramaphosa not emerged as party president at the 2017 Nasrec conference, Magashule said: "That's nonsense. People are electing the ANC. It's not about any individual. How do you predict? Is Comrade Mbalula saying I was not going to be part of the campaign if the leader was somebody else?" he asked.

Magashule said that ANC would have still received the same results which at the time of his press briefing saw the ANC sitting at 57% with about 90% of all voting districts declared.

Ace is on his dreamland. I don't take him serious.

I disagree with the SG, we love the ANC but voted to safe the party from people like you. It will matter overtime

Ace

This is amazing

Stop talking for us..we voted for Matamela..otherwise I would have voted for Son of the soil

If it was not for Ramaphosa, I wouldn't vote for ANC. Plz don't be misled. Some of us gave ANC a chance because of Ramaphosa

Yes

Cyril not ANC

I dont think Cyril will agree!

I voted for CyrilRamaphosa

mababeke yena uyawumazi uba uYesu uyasindisa

Then it's because of u Ace🙄

nomona mnxm

We were voting because of Cyril,we stopped voting Anc in the past 9years

If people voted for ANC because of Ramaphosa then that explains why it got the lowest votes in the history of our democracy. The guy is not popular!

Then ANC nec should hv let zuma stay in power until these elections so that people could vote for the ANC and not for a person?

People don't always vote for the party sometimes is the person they love. In this case Ramaphosa is the lover boy like iit or not.

ANC 4 LiVE.

Voetsek Magathief

Empty pride, cracks are gone and the big hole is showing.

Does he even think before he talks?Ramaphosa gave people hope that is why they voted for them.Ace just need to go and chill

Ace orata ditshele...

People like Ace Magashule dont deserve to make the Anc top six bcoz he has his own agenda. Point of order nkokheli!

Well there’s a clear sign that we’re all not pulling in the same direction

we voted Cyril bcz of his intention to fight corruption and state capture

This SG hates his President. Big time.

Why is Ace not in jail?

Ace and his crew are plotting to get rid of Ramaphosa but they will fail

Normally denial lasts for a short time, for Ace its nearing epidemic proportions

A sensible message from the SG Magashule_Ace, beware of the leadership of personality cult. The organisation must always be bigger than an individual.

The way Ace is behaving, Ramaphosa has to deploy him to the ANC youth league cos where he is, we expect more than this

For those who say they voted for Ramaphosa, you’ll learn that politics is not an individuals paradise, You actually voted for the ANC

ACE trying to muscle in to take credit for the win and suggest that people actually voted for the thieving criminals he represents

Ace is no longer ace, he is now the two of clubs. 😂😂😂

Sick one

He is crazy like his friend Zuma

Shame Ace, you can't even say congratulations to your president. Is these the sign of things to come.

The branches of the ANC need to get rid of this man as soon as possible, otherwise he is going to destroy the organisation.

Why deny a fact? Let him wait and see how people will vote when the corrupt DDMabuza becomes president.....

If ANC didn't called prophet redebe they would have loss the election... Now they are busy talking.. I wonder if they did go to him and thank him

“Ace neh ...eintlik how do I reshuffle Ace ...he takes me small ...I will show him...you watch !”

This, we don’t need🤦🏽‍♂️

I voted ANC cos of Ramaphosa

True my family and i never voted Ramaphosa; we voted ANC

Magashule you are in the political wilderness.

Obsessed with hatred

I voted because of Ramaphosa

Cyril Ramaphosa must stop this rot AceMagashule before it's too late; whose intentions are to decay organisation. This guy is a back stabber he doesn't appreciate good results happening to a party.

Absolute hogwash Ace Most of us voted for ANC because of the hope Cyril Ramaphosa is bringing with him Some of us have already lost all hope because of leaders like Zuma Magashule Mahumapelo Persons of marginal moral character Looters

Wrong

Lol lets wait an see after 2years that's where Yall will realize that you voted for ANC not rama.

The anc voters are yet again accomplishes rewarding the anc for corruption and state capture. Yet another mandate for the ANCgravyTrain to steam on.

CyrilRamaphosa is the only reason I voted for MYANC , nxa

Ace must swallow his pride Ramaphosa save ANC

Oow Yes truth must be told I voted the ANC for the sake of Cyril Ramaphosa.

I feel very sorry for the ANC with this one. He is operating like a cancer within the ANC, Cyril must watch out, he can't be trusted.

On your way out sir...

Was it necessary though for Ace to speak🙄

UnmovedLee Say thanks to Ramaphosa if it wasn't because of him the party would have gone to the drain!

Wanna bet Ace. Ramaphoria is real. If CR17 was not there today you would have been a blot in history.

Bullshit!

Thats Rubbish SG of ANC I for one voted because of CyrilRamaphosa . You need to get fired wena

UnmovedLee Ace should give credit where is due, NDZ did not win in Nasrec and he should deal with that, Ramaposa is building and mending a broken ANC, and Ace is still causing divisions within the movement...

If individuals like him are the reason why 60% is elusive, then individuals like CR are the reason the ANC is at least winning this election. ANC would be so much better without Ace.

Ace please leave our President alone wakwenzani President this is personal ngoku

I voted for ANC not Ramaphosa, people died in Marikana because of him.

😂😂😂😂Bunch of Clowns!😂😂😂

I still see division some members haven’t yet accepted Ramaphosa.

ElectionResults2019 and what if I did? Who do you know? The votes of millions? Someone tell this man generalizations are dangerous.

I'm actually not surprised that Ace said this,he never liked CyrilRamaphosa . I've listed to most of his comments, he never showed full support to the president. He's one of the people who are destroying the ANC.

I voted PhakamaRamaphosa not the ANC

These ANC guys are liars and I think they are going to continue with their lies and corruption even though Zondo Commission has exposed them. They have no shame.

This old man is toxic.

They must not lie. If Ramaphosa was not there ANC should have got less than 50%. Ramaphosa's presence gave ANC good character which was spoiled by those corrupt individuals in its committee*.

That is where he iswrong, We voted MYANC because of Ramaphosa. This man need to be removed for the good of ANC

I've stop longtime to vote this corrupt, unaccountable organisation called ANC, bcos of shady characters like Zuma, ACE and many others but they have been elected in de ANC,now wat kind of people will elect such characters and there must b lot of them, Ace has a point,

I voted for Ramaphosa, not ANC!

Wrong SG. In Ramaphosa I believe. In Ramaphosa I gave ANC another chance.

For some of us who didn’t vote for ANC we have no comment

Ace off...

Ace is outta his mind!! Ramaphosa saved them... now can Ace just disappear!!!!

Obviously, he was not an independent candidate, or was he!!🤷🏾‍♂️

Put David Mabuza next elections I wana see something

Wrong Ramaphosa brought stability and gave people hope to give ANC a chance .

Nonsense

Talking kak

I voted ANC because of Cyril otherwise I would have voted EFF,I can see light at the end of the tunnel

Ramaphosa won for the ANC just as Malema won for the EFF. The opinion of that low life corrupt criminal is of little consequence

MbalulaFikile sithini kanye

I voted for CyrilRamaphosa

ace hole is at it again...... nah.. he's right, it was service delivery and financial efficiency, to the comRATS..

People voted for anc of Mandela especially senior citizens,ask me how i will gladly tell it all

ANC is collective boby this organization does not belong to the individual that why it is 107 yrs

This Ace guy o thoma go tena yanong

I voted for the ANC, because of the leadership of Ramaphosa, the man gave us a renewed hope

Sour grapes

freedominvision P*!!s. Prove them wrong

I think we all had our different reasons to put our X there.

Nada. Ramaphosa made the difference.

True

President Ramaphosa's leaders contributed to the ANC winning the election & Ace must get sober!!!!! ANC have lost local government election in other part of the country due to Zuma's leadership!!!!!

There is no leadership here...

You are so wrong..... People voted for Cyril Ramaphosa. If he was not there the Anc wasnt winning. So please CyrilRamaphosa you have a lot of work to do on getting rid of those rotten apples like Ace

I voted for Ramaphosa not ANC

I voted for CyrilRamaphosa. He saved the MYANC. Most of us aren't beneficiaries of corrupt activities or part of the group that will be deployed to government - instant better life. Does he think we would have voted for MYANC if he was on the ballot paper? Nooo.

Amandla viva

I voted for a person who is a CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA and not MYANC ....!

I don't know about the others, but for me I voted because I trust CR to bring morality and stop the decay caused by corruption in the ANC, I doubt if I would have voted had it been somebody else

Restored hope but we declined with him being the face why

We didn't vote for Ramaphosa, we voted for the ANC that's true. ANC is not one man organisation

You are delusional wena Magashule_Ace if CR wasn’t there we were going to vote you guys out. Just wait for the next elections

You need to go Ace....

If Ramaphosa thinks that he saved MYANC he can open his new party in the next elections and we shall see

I expected that from him. He must be recalled. He must go join ATM without hiding now

Here we go. The knives are already out. The beginning of the end for CR. Like Juju predicted. CR will not finish his term.

Liar liar. Ramaphosa is ANC right now He restored hope in the party

DrAceMagashule I voted because of CyrilRamaphosa wena Ace otlo ntena very soon😡

This thing must just be prosecuted

Ace is technically right that the people voted for the ANC. Not any person. Ramaphosa cannot claim this as his victory.

It's true they voted corruption

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa when we are done and dusted with this elections can yawl please show this mada Ace the door he has been a liability from the word go I understand you had to keep him until elections are over so it’s time not just him alone all of them you know them

Good to see Mbalula and Magashule are on the same page.

If it was possible Magashule should have been fired from ANC
