Elections2019 proved vibrancy of SA’s democracy – Ramaphosa
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday said South Africa’s sixth general elections, held last week, once again proved the vibrancy of democracy in the country which was once a pariah state during apartheid.
“The elections have demonstrated the stability and the vibrancy of our democracy and the continued engagement of South African people in the important decisions that affect their lives. These elections hold a special significance because it has taken place in the year in which we are celebrating 25 years of our freedom and democracy in South Africa.
Welcoming the top diplomats, their spouses and officials to Pretoria, Ramaphosa said South Africa has a long history of friendly relations with other countries.
