Torch-bearer of anti-graft crusade
WITH characteristic grace, President Cyril Ramaphosa campaigns tirelessly to free South Africa from the clutches of endemic corruption.
Even in adversity, when answering hurtful accusations, he displays leadership that takes courage.
He uses the corridors of Parliament to report the truth as he sees it.
He has time and again warned his comrades that the party has become a movement that dispenses patronage to convert a once noble mass movement into a feudal oligarchy.
The elite are enmeshing the living body of the ANC in their net of avarice. Ramaphosa practises smart politics without castigating others.
He is principled and selflessly contributes to the development of the nation. He is a fine example of a self-made man. He has fearlessly been a torch-bearer of the anti-corruption crusade. Our growing impatience with corruption is visible in the proliferation of anti-corruption leaders as political candidates.
The nation is impressed by his thoughts and seriousness with which he takes his duties. This is unusual for many who are in power today.
With amazing humility and strong political convictions, he has made tremendous sacrifices. In today’s politically-charged atmosphere, speaking the truth is tantamount to treason.
His intellectual brilliance coupled with his dynamic skills enable him to be the most respected MP.
His actions prove he lives and governs by his conscience.
According to an old saying, some people are born to greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. This modest politician has found himself equal to the challenge. FAROUK ARAIE Benoni
