The ANC does not exist for its own sake. It exists to unite all South Africans in building a society founded on the vision of the Freedom Charter.   #ANCKZN9thProvincialConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Part of renewal is intensifying political education to improve the understanding of our history, values and practices amongst the membership and broader society. We must ask ourselves what role we all must play in providing the healing and regeneration of our movement.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

ANC members must live and conduct themselves with integrity and honesty and in adherence with organisational discipline.   Revolutionary discipline must be applied in a principled and organisational manner.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Renewal is about improving and modernising the internal capacity and systems of the ANC and ridding our movement of the elements, practices and behaviours that go against our organisational ethos, principles and discipline.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

The Presidential Employment Stimulus has provide work and livelihood support opportunities to 880,000 people since it was established less than two years ago.   #ANCKZN9thProvincialConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are creating conditions for the growth of businesses, both large & small, through a focused, coordinated effort to cut unnecessary red tape. We have shown the potential of public & social employment programmes to provide unemployed people with livelihoods, skills & experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Through this plan, we are working to leverage public infrastructure investment far more effectively and deliberately. We are using this investment to develop our own manufacturing capabilities and local suppliers.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The Economic Reconstruction & Recovery Plan is a product of deliberations within the African National Congress and the Alliance. It is also the product of discussion among the social partners in NEDLAC on how to restore our economy in the wake of COVID.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We should challenge the claim that we do not have a coherent plan to drive growth and create employment.   Not only do we have a plan, but we are hard at work to implement it.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

That is why we must continue to implement the available legal instruments to tackle this concentration of ownership, control and market dominance. Transformation requires that we diversify our economy, specifically through the development of our industrial capacity. #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This necessarily requires that we address the concentration of ownership in the economy. Not only does economic concentration make transformation more difficult by limiting the scope for new entrants, but it also stifles competition, keeps prices high and encourages inefficiency. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We need to fundamentally alter the racial and gender composition of the ownership, control and management of our economy. We need a South African economy that truly reflects the composition, diversity and interests of the South African people.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

It envisages a state with sufficient legal authority and economic means to ensure decent working conditions and to take steps to improve the lives of the poor and marginalised.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The Freedom Charter envisages a mixed economy with both public and private ownership. It envisages a developmental state that plays a leading role in ensuring economic access to those previously denied economic opportunity.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Our focus must therefore be on the implementation of the radical transformation of our economy and society, as set out in the National Development Plan, #ANC54 resolutions and our 2019 Election Manifesto.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Although there has been some progress in improving the economic position of black and women South Africans through redistributive and affirmative action policies, the country is still defined by widespread poverty, unemployment and inequality.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Despite this progress, we have still not fully achieved the vision of the Freedom Charter. That task – the achievement of the vision of the #FreedomCharter – remains the central mission of the ANC and the broader democratic movement.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Over the course of the last 28 years, we have removed the discriminatory and exploitative practices of the past, enacted many of the rights demanded in the Freedom Charter and put in place policies and programmes to meet the basic needs of all South Africans.   #ANCKZNConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Through our Constitution, we have affirmed the fundamental principle that South Africa belongs to all who live in it and that the authority of government must be based on the will of the people.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We should recognise that since the advent of democracy, South Africa has made remarkable progress in giving effect to the demands of the Freedom Charter.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must emerge from this Conference with a clear programme and an undivided commitment to improve the lives of the people of KwaZulu-Natal. The fundamental purpose of this Conference is to advance the realisation of the vision of the #FreedomCharter.   #ANCKZNConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We can adopt credentials, consider the political & organisational reports, debate policy, elect leadership, but unless we use this Conference to advance the struggle for the freedoms contained in the Freedom Charter, then this Conference is a waste of time. #ANCKZNConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must emerge from this Conference with a clear programme and an undivided commitment to improve the lives of the people of KwaZulu-Natal. The fundamental purpose of this Conference is to advance the realisation of the vision of the #FreedomCharter.   #ANCKZNConcerence — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

But more than that, the delegates here have a fundamental responsibility to champion and advance the needs, interests and concerns of the 11 million people who live in KwaZulu-Natal. #ANCKZNConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Comrades,   Gathered here today are the duly elected representatives of ANC members in this province, tasked with the responsibility of guiding the work of our movement in the months and years ahead. The delegates here each carry a mandate from their branches.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As we rebuild, we need infrastructure that is resilient, housing that is structurally-sound and well-located, and plan our cities, towns and rural areas so that they are able to withstand such natural disasters in the future. #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As we recover from the floods, our priority must be to finding suitable accommodation for those people who are still in shelters.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I also wish to commend the ANC leadership from the province down to the branch for providing assistance and care to those communities that were hardest hit by the floods.   #ANCKZNConference — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I wish to commend the leadership of the provincial government and the affected municipalities for their swift, emphatic response to this tragedy.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This province is still recovering from the catastrophic flooding that struck several regions in April, causing tragic loss of life, the destruction of homes and extensive damage to property and infrastructure.   #ANCKZN — PolitiTweet.org
