Ramaphosa also met traditional leaders. They raised a number of issues, including unemployment among the youth, a lack of assistance in agricultural projects and poor road infrastructure.
Ramaphosa promised that the government will look into the issues.
“The government realises that the citizens of this country are active citizens and they want to see change and development. But if they don’t go out and register to vote and vote it’s a clear signal that they don’t want the development of our country.”
