Ramaphosa: ‘Nywe nywe nywe, and dololo action!’

PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa was on a campaign trail that started with a door-to-door in Cosmo City, north of Jozi on Saturday, 13 April.

“I've been told that Zandspruit is the home of the ANC. Since 1994, the ANC has been prepared to work for the people and bring development in communities and change their lives,” he said.

Ramaphosa said he had been going around checking if ANC leaders were doing their work.

He promised residents that leaders who are not doing their job will be removed.

“But where I've been, I've seen that they're working. Here in Joburg, we had a problem that in 2021 most of you didn’t make sure the ANC wins with a majority to run the city alone. You voted for other parties and gave us big problems. When we're working with these small parties that always say nywe nywe nywe there's no progress. Where the ANC governs alone, there's progress,” said Ramaphosa.

He urged the crowd that gathered at a local taxi rank to go out in numbers and vote ANC on 29 May.

“If you vote for these small parties, you must know that the ANC’s hands will be tied. It won’t be able to work for you the way it should. Leave the small brakkies barking and go with the bulldog, and vote ANC in numbers because it has shown that it can deliver.”

He said the ANC introduced pension grants for gogos and mkhulus when it took over government.

“I went to a gogo’s house in Cosmo City, and she told me that with the R2 000 she gets every month, she uses R500 to buy stock to sell. She said she sells all sorts of things and gets R150 as daily profit. This means her pension grows to around R5 000 because she uses her money wisely. She thanked the ANC for giving her the grant,” Ramaphosa boasted.

He said the gogo also told him she was grateful that her grandchildren receive food at school and didn’t pay school fees because of the ANC.

“Like it or not, the ANC is working for South Africans. Those who say nywe nywe nywe don’t know what they're talking about. They've not built not a single house or toilet but tell you they will do this and that for you. They won’t do anything. Dololo,” Ramaphosa said.
