Reading Time: 2 minutes

President Cyril Ramaphosa says he is going to ensure there is policy certainty and that regulatory frameworks are in place.  Ramaphosa is optimistic that in 2018 South Africa is going to be the hottest investment destination.  He spoke exclusively to the SABC earlier on Sunday.

Ramaphosa is upbeat that South Africa will get the nod with regard to the non-permanent Security Council seat.

He was elected African National Congress (ANC) president at the end of last year – but remained second in charge of the country. Then the push to ensure  he also became President of the country.

He’s now completed 100 days in office. He is dealing  with a challenging environment after former President Jacob Zuma left office. This is an issue that he had to address included among others corruption in government,  poor economic growth but above all the internal ruling party divisions.

As the country grapples with poverty and unemployment –  economic growth is a priority for the new man at the helm and his experience as a business man has come in handy.

While the rating agencies have given South Africa a chance – concerns remain about political instability and political killings is an  added  challenge.

On the international front, the President believes South Africa will reclaim its position on the global  stage.  And is optimistic that South Africa will get support for its bid for the non- permanent seat at the Security Council

Voting will take place on the 6th of June 2018.

He is expected to attend the G20 meeting in Argentina, and later in September will make his first appearance at the United Nations General Assembly.

One Hundred days in office – and a lot needs to be done before the 2019 National election.
