Renewing the ANC and society, fighting crime and corruption, rejuvenating the nation, and contributing towards a better Africa and world were key objectives highlighted by Ramaphosa.
He emphasized the importance of working together with alliance partners to address these challenges and deliver basic services to the people.
The ANC, which marks 30 years in power, aims for a decisive victory in the 2024 general elections. Ramaphosa called on all party members to campaign tirelessly to retain power and urged the ANC Youth League to mobilize young South Africans to register to vote. He emphasized the significance of exercising the hard-won right to shape the future of the country.
