says state capture threatens to rob the country of the dream of people like Nelson Mandela and Raymond Mhlaba. The President was delivering the Raymond Mhlaba Memorial Lecture in Vryheid in KwaZulu-Natal. Mhlaba, who would have turned 100 this year, was a struggle icon and African National Congress leader.Ramaphosa says corruption has caused factions in the ANC that is threatening the unity of the party.
“Another affront to the vision and legacy of Oom Ray and his comrades is the issue of corruption of our struggle by those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor, the unbridled contestation within our ranks for public resources and the graft that has become common place in many of our public institutions – a grave threat to the advancement of the national democratic revolution.”Ramaphosa says the battle for women’s empowerment must continue.
“As men, we must understand that none of us has the right of ownership over any woman’s body regardless of the nature of the relationship that we might have with them. Oom Ray fought for and was prepared to die for a non-sexist society, which is free from patriarchal relations of power. His cause of women’s empowerment and gender equality must remain our course as well.”
Ramaphosa says that people who want to bring about real change in South Africa can take a leaf from the book of Raymond Mhlaba. “When Nelson Mandela said the ideal of a free and democratic South Africa was an ideal that he was prepared to die for, Comrade Ray Mhlaba – he was one of those leaders that our revolution has had who were clearly and determinedly prepared to die for the cause of a freedom for all of us.”

Only EFF fools will expect President to arrest people
Who is the the president of South Africa? If serious in combating corruption then go Singaporean 🇸🇬 way. Take no prisoners along the way. Good luck👍
It is not threatening it has been robbing our people at least in the last 15 yrs of ANC rule
But the state is still captured by the privately owned SARB, British , Oppenheimers , Ruperts , Stellenbosch mafia , Zionists. The legal system, the economy are instruments of capture.

My People are not fools they can see thru you with your Jamnandas and your boses in Stellenbosch. Your government is the most corrupt one since the establishment of RSA. You have fired all black executives,Your selling everything we once proud off.All SOE’s are gone.
Corruption and State capture is sealing the documents with names of those 'donated' in the CR17 campaign and that's what's causing factions within the ANC!
Remind him that, he belong to a faction called CR17, actually its his baby
Let him release the CR17 statements then I will believe him

Your Prepaid President is useless

Another controversial President..... Sealed bank statements Bosasa Loadshedding
Why don't you ask us what do we think of Ramaphosas views? You always ask those dumb questions if it's President Zuma!
Cyril think we are fools. There was no state capture. He should stop his nonsense.
Udakiwe
Lets put the NDZ and CR Campaining Bank Statement whilst we on it. We then extend this to all Political Parties. I want to see something. I think that fair enough and this will consistent and fair.
Tell them my president, some even call themselves RET.
