Cyril Ramaphosa: “True patriotism does not require us to hide injustice.”

Democracy must not end when the polling station closes.

I say this with the level of seriousness that it requires because it is possible that, yes, and in a number of areas, it can be ANC control, DA control, EFF control.

No South African community should stand aside and say it is not going to vote; advancing the country’s interests is everyone’s responsibility.

Political leaders must never forget that the legitimacy of our authority comes from our people, and as journalists, you perform an indispensable role in ensuring that the people of our country are informed.
