Elections2019: Ramaphosa promises no more rogue ministers SAElections2019 MzansiVotes
Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa used the governing party’s final rally to send a stern warning that leaders found guilty of corruption and state capture would not be appointed to his Cabinet after the elections on Wednesday.
“Let us declare that we will never surrender our freedom to corruption and state capture. We will not submit and retreat. We will fight with every measure at our disposal to ensure that those who occupy positions of authority serve only the public interest,” Ramaphosa said. “The Zondo Commission is busy unravelling the nature of the state capture in the National Prosecuting Authority, Sars, police and State Security Agency. We are going to hold them accountable and to respect the rule of law,” Ramaphosa said.
"It has never been done before in South Africa. We are going to do it. We are determined to build factories, mines, call centres and job opportunities for young people. Malema added the ANC was so threatened by the growing power and influence of the EFF that Ramaphosa had offered him and his deputy Floyd Shivambu ministerial posts after he had taken over from Jacob Zuma as head of state.
