Ramaphosa issues stern warning to farm owners over prevent workers from voting MayDay2019
DURBAN - President Cyril Ramaphosa says farm owners who are planning to prevent their workers from voting on 8 May should desist from such action.He said while the African National Congress had erred in the past, it remained the only party that could take the country forward.
Cosatu and the South African Communist Party reiterated their support for the ANC, and the president thanked Cosatu unions for campaigning for the ruling party. Ramaphosa has made a last effort to convince KwaZulu-Natal to keep the ANC in power. Even though the party had let the country down, he said the ongoing commissions were a way of getting the party back on track.He warned farm owners who were allegedly threatening to prevent workers from voting not to do so.
“Some farm employers should not stop workers from voting. If we find you have prevented them, we will look at processes to ensure workers vote.”#COSATUMayDay Cosatu President Zingiswa Losi; ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa and SACP General secretary Blade Nzimande. 📸: @AbigailJavier_ pic.twitter.com/aJK4LN1P9f
