Reading Time: < 1 minute

African National Congress( ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa, says the Nelson Mandela centenary offers the party a new beginning.

Ramaphosa said it in his address at the Mandela Release celebrations in Cape Town. The celebrations come as the deadlocked effort to oust President Jacob Zuma grinds on.

Thousands of ANC supporters wearing the party’s signature yellow, green and black colours have gathered for the rally at the hugely symbolic Grand Parade.

Ramaphosa started  addressing the crowd at the exact time when Nelson Mandela spoke when he was released on February 11th in 1990.

“The centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela gives us a great opportunity for renewal and rebuilding. As we remember this great leader, this year gives us an opportunity as we remember Mandela, to reaffirm our vision of a non-racial society, to build an SA for all our people,” said Ramaphosa.
