“The ANC has always been thought of as being disunited and about to collapse. It is not going to happen and certainly not going to happen in my hands. The ANC will remain united,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa said various surveys had showed that “people are attracted to a much more united ANC than to a divided ANC”.
Responding to the delay on Constitutional Court’s ruling into the reopening of candidate registrations after the ANC missed the deadline to submit candidate lists in over 90 municipalities, Ramaphosa said: “I am very relaxed and I think we have put forward a very good and cogent case on this matter and the legal arguments that we put forward are good and sound.”
Responding to the hostile reception he received earlier when he visited the Nomzamo informal settlement, Chiawelo and Naledi communities in Soweto, Ramaphosa said he told residents he was not in the area to mobilise for the elections.
