The Black Business Council has congratulated President Cyril Ramaphosa on his official election as President of the Republic of South Africa on Wednesday following general elections two weeks ago.
The BBC said that Ramaphosa’s election, on his official first-term as State president, demonstrated the country’s confidence in him to spearhead economic recovery and renewal. “As the BBC, we sincerely anticipate a leaner Cabinet made up of men and women of integrity who will be single-minded in addressing the challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality.”
“We commend and applaud the Deputy President of the ANC, Mr DD Mabuza for following his conscience by postponing his swearing in as a Member of Parliament in order to address the ANC Integrity Commission’s concerns as this sets a positive tone for the new administration,” Zungu said.
