I wish to thank those people who have made this Conference possible – the management of NASREC, the Electoral Committee and the Elexions Agency, technical staff, marshalls, security officials and the many service providers, donors and exhibitors. https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must show no mercy for those who steal from the people, whoever they are and wherever they are. https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We need to employ people because they are competent and committed, not because they are connected. https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We need to act against those public representatives and officials who are delaying the vital reforms that we need to build a thriving economy. We need to fix our schools and our hospitals, our roads and our water infrastructure.   #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We need to resolve the load shedding that is causing so much turmoil in our country. We also need remove the obstacles to faster economic growth and job creation. https://t.co/e5rib2iOdG — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Delegates have conveyed the view of the ANC members that they represent that we need to do much more and we need to do it much faster. https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

But we have remained true to the course of the restoration of our movement.   This 55th National Conference has confirmed that we are on the right path. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

5 years ago, in this very hall, we set out on a journey of rebuilding, unity and renewal.   It has been a difficult journey. We have encountered many challenges.   At times, we have met fierce resistance. We made some errors along the way. https://t.co/tX5JyNinYj — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We know that these actions may be met with opposition and that they may increase discord within our structures. But, as this Conference has recognised, we have no choice – we either deal with corruption or we perish. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have stated our determination, as this 55th National Conference, to take all necessary actions to end corruption and patronage within the ANC. We know from our recent experience that such actions can be difficult and painful. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have said that government should consider the establishment of a vibrant and independent anti-corruption agency as a structure to address issues of corruption across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

But we have also acknowledged that we have not done enough to end corruption, to reverse the effects of state capture and to deal with its corrosive effects on the ANC and institutions across society. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have recognised the great progress that has been made over the last five years in tackling corruption within our ranks, within the State and across society. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Our discussions at #ANC55 have taken a firm stand against corruption.   We have recognised that corruption within the ANC is a dire threat to the continued existence of our organisation and to the future of the National Democratic Revolution. https://t.co/e5rib2iOdG — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This is great progress, but it is not enough. We should not rest until we have achieved full equality in all structures of our movement – equality in terms of representation, of participation and of opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

#ANC55 has placed the position of women – both within the ANC and in society – firmly at the centre of our national election.   We must welcome the fact that three of the top seven Officials elected at this Conference are women.   https://t.co/e5rib2AXrO — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This Conference has reiterated our commitment to a better Africa and a better world.   #BetterAfricaBetterWorld https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

#ANC55 has provided guidance on the strengthening of the National Strategic Plan on GBVF and provided clear direction to our structures and to our deployees in government on further steps necessary to end this pandemic. https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have reaffirmed that ours must be a police service and not a police force, and we have agreed to overhaul and harmonise our immigration laws to meet the new challenges facing the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

#ANC55 has prioritised the safety & security of South Africans. We have outlined steps to further strengthen our police service & other law enforcement agencies, to improve the effectiveness of our criminal justice system & the security of our borders.   https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have outlined the steps that we must take to build an economy that serves all South Africans; an economy that bridges the huge gap between wealth and poverty, between privilege and disadvantage, between black and white, between men and women. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The deliberations and the conclusions from our Policy Conference have placed the needs and the interests of the people first, especially the working class and the poor.   #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Let us be clear that there is no other reason for us to join the ANC and there is no other reason for us to seek or accept election to positions of leadership within its ranks other than to serve its people. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There is no other reason for the existence of this organisation than to unite, mobilise and serve the people of South Africa.   #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

During our expansive discussions that started in your branches, in our Policy Conference and the commissions we had, we have defined the actions that we must take to confront the challenges of the present and the future. https://t.co/e5rib2AXrO — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The branches have spoken by choosing the leadership that will emerge from here.    The ANC has spoken.   The strong democratic tradition that underpins the founding of our movement, has been victorious once more. #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Thanks to the political consciousness and for the most part the discipline amongst yourselves as delegates, whatever differences amongst us did not distract us from the critical work that the people of this country expect and require of us.   #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2iOdG — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There have been attempts to divide us, to provoke us and to divert us from the tasks that we must undertake in advancing our National Democratic Revolution. There have been moments at this Conference that have tested our unity and cohesion. #ANC55 https://t.co/e5rib2ApCg — PolitiTweet.org
