Ramaphosa Takes a Stand: A New Era of Confrontation for the ANC

Daily Maverick

In a marked departure from previous January 8th speeches, President Cyril Ramaphosa's address on January 11 signaled a shift towards a more direct and forceful approach in tackling the ANC's political adversaries. With a renewed sense of purpose, Ramaphosa faced his enemies head-on, setting the tone for a potentially more confrontational era in South African politics. This bold move may be a turning point for the ANC, as it navigates the complexities of internal factionalism and external opposition. As the party moves forward, it remains to be seen how this new approach will impact its relationships with key stakeholders and the broader political landscape. Key issues like state capture and corruption are likely to be in the spotlight.
