We showed them who is the boss, Ramaphosa says about the ‘gang’ of other parties

Emerging from daunting national elections, ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday conceded that the party had waged “the most difficult campaign” in the polls, then pledging to appoint members of parliament and a Cabinet made up of “men and women who are visionaries”.

Said Ramaphosa: “It was difficult and they thought the ANC was going to lose power, but we emerged victorious because of the 10 million people who voted for their glorious movement. “We showed them who is the boss and we feel sorry for them because some could not even get to parliament, while we will be sending more than 200 delegates.”

The ANC, he said, was “now turning into a new phase” and would appoint capable MPs and members of Cabinet who were capable. Ramaphosa said: “Now we have a clear mandate to do what our people wished for: jobs, houses and clean running water. In this phase we’re going to renew the ANC and cleanse it of all bad tendencies, making the organisation to be seen as the leader of society. We can look forward to great things in this new era.
