ANC doesn't need to buy votes with food parcels - Ramaphosa
25 May 2016
Cape Town – The ANC does not need to buy votes with food parcels, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Wednesday.
The ruling party had enough capacity to convince people to vote for them and food parcels were distributed within the limits of the law, he said while answering questions in the National Assembly.
They were not given out depending on which party’s T-shirts people wore.
“As government we believe state resources should not be used for political party interests. They are there for all South Africans and all the people who live in the country,” he said.
