CR: Not selling ANC’s soul

ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa has dismissed “whispers” that his party is outsourcing governance or selling the country to the private sector.

Speaking to the party’s lekogtla over the weekend, Ramaphosa said there was criticism within the party that it had become neo-liberal and sold out.

He said this was not true, instead suggesting that it was all part of a master plan for governance.

“There is an accusation, and some of it is whispered in the corridors of our movement, that we have become so neo-liberal that we are privatising state assets.

“I say now and here, we are not privatising anything. What we are doing is to bring in partners. Partners who have money, like what we did when we built the N3 and N4.”
