While ANC internal polls show a greater white engagement since Cyril Ramaphosa became president, the party insists it’s the black vote that counts
“But I am saying that the majority of our people and voters are those who were oppressed – blacks in general. There have been expectations in the ANC’s leadership circles that because many voters in the DA’s traditional support base are well disposed towards Ramaphosa, they could be persuaded to ditch their party.
Solly Malatsi, the DA’s national spokesperson, said claims that white voters want to give Ramaphosa a chance were not backed by any credible evidence.Magashule’s comments come in a week when the governing party has felt the heat for the top 100 candidates on its parliamentary list, which contains a number of controversial names and is packed with old people.
Ramaphosa’s foes used the fact that there is a Public Protector complaint into Bosasa’s R500 000 donation to his ANC leadership campaign in 2017 and that Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe, who is also chairperson of the ANC, had his domestic security installed by the company for free. Nompendulo Mkhatshwa, the former president of the Student Representative Council at the University of the Witwatersrand and a #FeesMustFall activist, is also headed to Cape Town.
