.MbalulaFikile : A nation reborn SAElections2019
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday at Ellis Park where the ANC held its last elections rally.As we traversed the country, we saw the face of poverty, unemployment and the devastation of crime in our communities. We were touched by the flicker of hope that still lingers, writesAs the first rays of the sun herald a new day, South Africans brace themselves to cast their votes in one of the most electrifying elections since the dawn of democracy.
This election is a watershed moment for the ANC in many ways, a moment of renewal and rejuvenation for a movement that fell prey to the sins of incumbency. A moment when we humble ourselves before the nation and accept that we were remiss in not preventing a drift from the compass of integrity that inspired the generations whose mission it was to achieve a democratic and inclusive society.
As we traversed the country, ably led by the ANC president, Cde Cyril Ramaphosa, we saw the face of poverty, unemployment and the devastation of crime in our communities. We were touched by the flicker of hope that still lingers on amidst the sea of what would otherwise be hopelessness. We walked the streets of Alexandra and experienced the squalor our people live with daily. We broke bread with the people in Khayelitsha and Duncan Village and listened to the stories of their daily struggles.
Despite the daunting challenges confronting us, we have made great strides over the last 25 years towards the realisation of a promise of a better life for all. We have transformed the face of South Africa and invested greatly in social and economic infrastructure, improving the lives of millions. Not only did successive ANC governments triple the size of the economy since 1994, we also invested in excess of R2 trillion in infrastructure projects over the last 10 years.
