Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Through their actions – from the moment they are elected to the day they leave office – we expect our councillors to demonstrate that the ANC is committed and able to respond to people’s daily concerns and needs. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
No ANC councillor will be sworn in without entering into the Contract of Deployment, and the ANC will recall any public representative that does not honour this contract. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Above all, they need to be leaders in good standing: honest, people with integrity and high ethical standards; no criminal record; no pending corruption charges; and they must be rooted and grounded in the community. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They need knowledge of budgeting and financial management and a firm grasp of the legal context of local government. Those are the people we want in local government. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These interview panels will be considering candidates’ capabilities, competence, qualifications, recognition of prior learning and relevant experience. Among other things, they will need to understand the social and economic drivers of local government. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Later this week, we will be undertaking a series of rigorous interviews of prospective candidates conducted by members of the National Executive Committee and other ANC cadres with experience in local government and development. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Another immediate task is to elect mayors and other senior office bearers who are capable, experienced and committed. We have adopted a comprehensive set of criteria for Mayors, Speakers and other political office-bearers. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those who do not want to talk to us, we will not be running after them. Our objective is to form local government to implement the will of our people, not to play games. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We want principled discussions based on delivering on the aspirations of our people. We enter negotiations with seriousness, honesty with intention to implementing the will of the people. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Where there is failure in negotiations and no government is set up, the law will have to kick in within the set timeframes. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We want coalitions that are stable, credible and have an agreed programme of work that delivers what communities need. #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we enter into coalitions, we will insist that coalition relationships are structured, that there are clear coalition agreements in place and that the contents of agreements are known to voters. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our acting SG is commanding our coalition discussions. We are going to be strategic. Our decisions will be principled, political and strategic. We will not go cap in hand. We will keep an open mind. Our discussions will be respectful. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Comrades, let it be clear. We are not going to enter into coalitions at all costs. The political parties going around saying they will not work with us to capture media space, we are not on our knees. If we must be in opposition, we will be in opposition. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The fundamental consideration that informs any agreement we enter into with other parties is whether it will enable us to implement our electoral mandate and contribute to the improvement of the lives of the residents in that municipality. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It also gives us a solid foundation to enter coalition agreements in those municipalities where we did not win an outright majority, but where we nevertheless have substantial support. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The results of this election provide us with a firm mandate to implement the commitments we made in our election manifesto in municipalities across the country. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have received more than 10.6 million votes. We have more than 4,500 local government seats and an outright majority in 167 councils. That is not chicken feed. We are the largest party in every metro, except Cape Town and Nelson Mandela Bay. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While we have seen a decline in our support, the reality is that the ANC is still, by a significant margin, the most popular political organisation in the country, with nationwide support, whether they like it or not. That is the reality. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Now that the election results have been declared, we are focusing our efforts on establishing progressive and developmental local government in as many parts of the country as possible. #ANCSiyabonga https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Voters have sent a clear message that we need to focus on governance, on ridding councils of corruption and maladministration, and on making sure that services are provided reliably and affordably. That is our immediate task. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Renewal and rebuilding will be our overriding organisational priority as we emerge from this election. We recognise that if we are to regain the confidence of the people we need to change in far-reaching and fundamental ways. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those South Africans that voted for us and those that stayed away have – in different ways – both given us a firm instruction to undertake without any further delay the fundamental renewal of our movement. That is their instruction to us. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We do not celebrate our losses. We respect the message we have received from voters and will act with urgency and purpose to correct our mistakes and significantly improve our performance. #ANCSiyabonga https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The people of South Africa have spoken. They have spoken loudly and we have heard. They know what we are capable of. They know what we have been able to achieve. They want us to correct ourselves. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Most importantly, they have said that the ANC must fix its own problems if it is to be trusted to effectively serve the needs and the interests of the people. #ANCSiyabonga https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In doing, so they made a powerful statement about their disappointment, discontent and frustration with the ANC. By not voting, they have sent a clear message, that the ANC is not living up to their expectations. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
At the same time, millions of people who voted for the ANC in the past chose to stay away from the polls. They chose to stay away rather than cast their votes for any other party. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Through their votes they said that they continue to support our movement, but that they expect us to correct our mistakes, to restore our values, and to serve the people more effectively. #ANCSiyabonga https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This election has sent a very clear and strong message to the ANC. Five-and-a-half million South Africans voted for the ANC in these elections. They reaffirmed their confidence in the ANC to lead their municipalities and to provide the services they need. https://t.co/X4Oi8LGq4C — PolitiTweet.org
