Silence is a betrayal of the movement - Ramaphosa
26 June 2017
Johannesburg - African National Congress deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa has urged other organisations in the tripartite alliance to continue speaking out when mistakes are made.
In reiterating a call he made previously, Ramaphosa told 576 delegates at Nehawu's 11th national congress in Boksburg that not speaking out was a betrayal to the mission undertaken by the alliance.
The South African Communist Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions have been criticised by some in the ANC for speaking out against happenings in the 105-year-old organisation. This has resulted in some within the different organisations expressing a desire to break up the alliance.
"We've got to be moving together, working together, leading the country together and ensuring that we achieve the objectives that our alliance has set out for itself," said Ramaphosa.
