The South African people have spoken, and they have chosen incumbent President Cyril Ramaphosa to continue the leadership of South Africa. The ANC has been South Africa’s leading party for 25 years, since Nelson Mandela led the country out of apartheid. As an old member of the party, Ramaphosa has been there from the beginning as a negotiator and activist fighting the historic injustices facing the country’s blacks.
After a long hiatus to work as a businessman, Mr Ramaphosa was elected to lead the country last year following Jacob Zuma’s nine year term. His re-election is good for Africa; and good for the fight against corruption.
