We reaffirm our call to all members to cooperate with the Commission, and to refrain from unnecessary attacks on the Deputy Chief Justice and the work he has been tasked by the nation to perform. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The NEC has agreed that we must confirm our appreciation for the work of the Zondo Commission under very difficult circumstances. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

It is in this context that the meeting welcomed Secretary General’s decision to present himself to the Integrity Commission on 12 December 2020. The Officials shall process the outcomes of this engagement & the determination by the Integrity Commission & report to the NWC & NEC. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have agreed that, in order to give effect to these decisions, the Officials will finalise the guidelines that will be applied in instances where members of the organisation are formally charged with, convicted of or reported to be involved in corruption or other serious crimes — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

- We will be consistent and even-handed in the application of these decisions and will ensure that fair and due process is followed. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

- We will fully implement the mandate of the 54th National Conference and the decisions made by the NEC, understanding that these are fundamental to the renewal of the organisation and to the restoration of the credibility of the movement among South Africans. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have reaffirmed several important principles:   - We confirm the firm stance we have taken on corruption and wrongdoing within our ranks and within society. There will be no dilution of the position we have taken. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This meeting has had an extensive discussion on the implementation of the resolutions of Conference and the decisions of the NEC on corruption and other forms of wrongdoing. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

In the course of its response to the pandemic, Africa has demonstrated that if we dedicate sufficient effort and resources, we have the means to meet this challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The meeting acknowledged an important point about the need for the African continent, as a matter of priority, to build its capacity for research, innovation & local manufacturing, so that it is not so dependent on other countries with regards to medicines, equipment or a vaccine — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We will, in particular, call on people to avoid parties and large crowds, to restrict family gatherings, to wear a mask at all times, wash and keep social distance, and to protect the elderly from possible exposure to the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are further calling on the structures of the ANC to use all available platforms – including local and community radio stations, print media and social media – to appeal to each community to adhere to Covid 19 regulations during the festive season. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We recognise that what we do as a society over the next month will be crucial to our efforts to prevent a second wave of infections. The NEC is calling on all South Africans to change our behaviour now to prevent a resurgence of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We appreciate the work done by ANC branches and public representatives, by community based organisations and civil society to raise awareness, and mobilise community solidarity during the difficult situation caused by the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This NEC has expressed grave concern about the increase in infections and deaths over the last few weeks, in particular in the hotspots in Eastern Cape and Western Cape, and has welcomed the measures that have been put in place to contain these outbreaks. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are therefore commited to responsible fiscal management. We have emphasised the importance of the economic empowerment of women, and attention to local economic development in the context of the district development model. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have also noted with concern the deteriorating fiscal situation in the country,  with debt payments absorbing a growing share of limited public resources, and increasingly crowding out spending on social and economic investment. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have noted the progress that has been made in the implementation of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, particularly with respect to the Presidential Employment Stimulus, infrastructure investment and measures to improve energy generation capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This #ANCNEC agreed that our central task at this time is to rebuild our economy following the devastation caused by the #COVID19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As we have said before, we need to desist from public statements that are at variance with the decisions of the structures of ANC and which are likely to fuel division. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must also acknowledge that there are some among us who, wittingly or unwittingly, contribute to a public discourse that is damaging to the unity and cohesion of the NEC and the movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Some do so out of a genuine concern for the organisation and for the direction that the country will take. Some do so out of narrow self interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have not sharpened divisions; in fact, through our discussions we have narrowed the differences that exist. We need to be alive to the reality that there are some outside our movement who are keen to influence our discussion and our decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The discussions have been underpinned by the desire to find a solution to the challenges that face us. Once again, we have proven many commentators and other public voices wrong.   We have not torn ourselves apart or descended into bitter recrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I wish to commend all members of the NEC for the comradely manner in which these discussion have taken place. Comrades have been frank and direct and have sought to persuade each other through the strength of their arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This has been a productive #ANCNEC meeting that has enabled us to reflect on our work this year and to identify some of our key priorities as we go into 2021. We have had to discuss some difficult issues that had the potential to deepen division and exacerbate tensions. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The achievement of equal opportunities for persons with disabilities is necessary for the realisation of the rights contained in our Constitution, and is an important part of the objectives of our NDP and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. https://t.co/ZMpUfveydV https://t.co/RWDjFeBvot — PolitiTweet.org
