The Democratic Alliance (DA) has described the newly elected ANC top leadership as “a corrupt group of people.”
On Monday night, the ruling party elected Cyril Ramaphosa as its new President. Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza was elected Deputy President and Free State Premier Ace Magashule is now the secretary-general.
In a statement released on Monday Maimane says that Ramaphosa cannot save South Africa and only South Africans can in 2019.
“The election of Cyril Ramaphosa as ANC President is too little too late for the ANC, and means very little for the people of South Africa who have been left behind in poverty and joblessness. The ANC is dead and cannot self-correct, no matter who is at the helm” says the statement.
Maimane says that Ramaphosa is just a new face to the same old ANC.
“The future of South Africa lies outside of the ANC. It is up to the voters to bring about total change by removing the ANC in 2019 and ushering a new beginning for our country.”
DA leader Mmusi Maimane says he does not see the new crop of leaders improving the lives of South Africans.
