President Cyril Ramaphosa's final push for a decisive ANC victory in Wednesday's polls saw him apologise publicly yesterday for the party's past mistakes and promising tough action against corruption if he is re-elected.
Ramaphosa's message to the electorate was that a vote for him was a vote for the renewal of government and state institutions hollowed out due to state capture and corruption.
"Or we can choose to embark on a path of renewal and go forward to a future of peace and stability, jobs and progress." "The era of impunity is over. We are now entering the era of accountability. We are now entering the era of consequences," he said. "We have done much to restore the credibility and effectiveness of the NPA, Sars, SAPS and the State Security Agency. But the road ahead is long, and there is still much more to do," he said.
