ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa says the party has kept on its task to unite South Africans since its inception. He was speaking at the ANC Provincial Gala Dinner in Kimberley, ahead of the party’s Northern Cape Manifesto Launch.
Ramaphosa says the ANC is committed to fighting racism, unlike the apartheid government which followed racist policies.
“Many who had been given or had reserved the responsibility to run the country had run this country to the ground because they had followed racist policies. The ANC had being given the responsibility in 1912 to unite. SA has kept on that task. And today we can say, it has made dramatic steps to unite the people of our country.”
