'We will not allow institutions of our state to be captured' - Ramaphosa
20 April 2017
Johannesburg – Do not allow revolutionary sounding slogans to hoodwink the public, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
Speaking at a Black Business Council event in Sandton, Johannesburg on Wednesday evening, Ramaphosa said some were attempting to appropriate the democratic movement, along with its history, symbols and policies in pursuit of factional interests.
"We have now become a country of many slogans where everyone wakes up and comes up with a slogan," said the deputy president.
His views echo sentiments expressed by the SACP on calls for radical economic transformation.
