As South Africans cast their votes, ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa conveyed a strong message of confidence, asserting that the South African populace will once again place their trust in the ruling party.
Drawing on the ANC’s longstanding governance since the end of apartheid in 1994, Ramaphosa has emphasized the party’s historical significance and its contributions to the nation’s development.
Despite facing the unprecedented possibility of the ANC dipping below a 50% majority for the first time, Ramaphosa remains optimistic that the electorate will deliver a decisive mandate in favour of the ANC.

Ramaphosa’s campaign efforts have been nothing short of extensive. He has traversed the length and breadth of South Africa, engaging directly with citizens from various walks of life.
This hands-on approach is aimed at addressing voter scepticism and reinforcing the ANC’s commitment to addressing the country’s pressing issues. Through numerous rallies, town hall meetings, and community visits, Ramaphosa has sought to reconnect with the electorate, urging them to support the party that has been at the helm of the nation’s governance for nearly three decades.
The ANC’s intensive campaign has highlighted several critical aspects of the party’s agenda, including economic recovery, job creation, and social justice. Ramaphosa has underscored that the party’s vision aligns with the aspirations of ordinary South Africans, promising tangible improvements in their daily lives.
He believes that the democratic process will ultimately affirm the ANC’s position, as it has consistently been a champion of democracy and human rights in South Africa.
Amidst the fervour of the election campaign, Ramaphosa has reiterated that the true winner in this electoral contest is democracy itself. His belief is that a robust democratic process will not only validate the ANC’s governance but also strengthen the country’s democratic institutions. As South Africans head to the polls, Ramaphosa’s message is clear: a vote for the ANC is a vote for continued progress and stability in the nation.
Ramaphosa, accompanied by First Lady Dr. Tshepo Motsepe, arrived at Hitekani Primary School in Chiawelo, Soweto, to cast their votes.
The atmosphere was charged with a sense of civic duty as South Africans from all walks of life turned up to participate in this critical democratic exercise. Ramaphosa’s presence at the polling station underscored the importance of the elections and his personal commitment to upholding democratic values.
