President Cyril Ramaphosa says says the ANC will regain its lost ground in the upcoming elections | Neo_Gee
Ramaphosa, who was on a campaign trail in Soweto yesterday, said the ANC lost ground due to self-inflicted blunders.
"There's new hope in the country about a new beginning. The problems are immense and they were given rise to by our past; we didn't get the best of cards dealt to us as we started our democracy. "We've made some missteps and we admit that openly and that is what endears us to our people because when a political party has made mistakes and it admits, the people feel closer to it," Ramaphosa said in his home town yesterday.
Walking side by side with Gauteng premier and ANC provincial chairperson David Makhura, the president said he was confident that voters would give the ANC another chance. In the 2016 local elections, the governing party lost two major metros in Gauteng - City of Joburg and Tshwane. They held on to City of Ekurhuleni via a favourable coalition government.
