Ramaphosa calls for urgent action on poverty and inequality
The Star
|December 09, 2025
PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa called on delegates to the ANC’s 5th National General Council (NGC) to prioritise addressing the socioeconomic challenges of poverty, inequality, and child hunger plaguing the country.
The ANC NGC kicked off on Monday amid talks of succession battles within the organisation.
Ramaphosa’s address to the delegates came just as the party recently dismissed any talks of leadership change and succession debates, with the party’s Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula, saying the NGC will only discuss the party's policy direction and renewal agenda.
On Sunday, Ramaphosa addressed ANC delegates at a Presidential Gala Dinner organised by the Progressive Business Forum and the Progressive Citizens Forum at the Birchwood Hotel & O.R. Tambo Conference Centre on the eve of the NGC.
