'ANC needs to do introspection'

In the aftermath of President Cyril Ramaphosa urging ANC councillors to learn from the DA how to run municipalities, experts say it’s a wake-up call for the party and they should do some introspection.

Prof Lesiba Teffo said Ramaphosa made a Rubicon speech, a statement that marked a turning point that would have an impact on the future of the nation.

He said the ANC must do self-introspection and look forward.

Teffo said party members should stop criticising the president; instead, they should support him, as he was speaking the truth.

He said Ramaphosa should be praised.

"Members of the ANC must pause and introspect instead of vilifying their president. That was a Rubicon speech. Truth will set us free," Teffo said.

Municipalities under the DA such as Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Midvaal in Gauteng and others are known for efficient administration and clean audits.
