ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday rolled out his nationwide roadshow with civil society in a bid to fast track the social compact with various stakeholders.
On women empowerment, Ramaphosa said there were now more women deputy ministers and that should demonstrate the direction the ANC was going.Women would participate meaningfully in the economy, he said. He welcomed the challenge for the ANC-led government to take a risk to empower women and young people.“We characterise ourselves as a developmental state and at times we rather be hesitant to be more developmental and we tend to hold back instead of being more forthright.
We therefore need to be more forthright and make ourselves a more developmental state and as a developmental state there are risks that we need to take like empowering women and young people. We need to be bolder.” On voting, Ramaphosa said it was important to pay attention to voter education ahead of the 2024 elections.On the basic income grant, he said the government was working on it.
