Newsletter| President Cyril Ramaphosa needs to be surrounded by the best available comrades to assist him. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is one such comrade. She must be either appointed as the deputy president or the first prime minister, writes Bafana Nhlapo
The sixth national general elections have come and gone and the result is that, in spite of the decline in electoral dominance, the people of South Africa have reaffirmed their confidence in the ANC to lead the nation.
She represents the best that the ANC has produced and, beyond her personal excellence, this political moment calls for someone like her. This makes it important for the president and officials of the ANC to reaffirm the deployment philosophy of the ANC that the best among us must lead and that all comrades serving in our structures must be able to pass through the eye of the needle.
Dlamini-Zuma has served as a minister of health, home affairs and also as a minister in the presidency. In all the departments she has led, she has done so with great distinction and has an excellent legacy. This term of office must work to restore the confidence of African states in South Africa and also be intentional, active and vested in elevating the living conditions of people of this continent.In view of this and having assessed all the MP candidates that the ANC has fielded for the sixth Parliament of South Africa, it becomes clear that none have the experience, record and understanding of matters of the continent than Dlamini-Zuma.
This may slow down the pace of reform and delivery on the mandate that the electorate has given the ANC.
