Ramaphosa tells ANC it needs 14 million votes to win elections outright, as party marshalls ministers to tout successes

Quick Glance: Ramaphosa Urges ANC to Secure 14 Million Votes for Clear Victory

The ANC has mobilized all its ministers to 'aggressively communicate its success stories' in the critical campaigning weeks ahead of the May 29th national elections.

President Cyril Ramaphosa stated in a leaked recording of the national executive committee meeting last week that the party would need 14 million votes for a clear victory, compared to the previous 10 million.

ANC head of elections Mdumiseni Ntuli delivered a report on the party's campaign battle plan to remain in government, emphasizing the need to strengthen the base and win back disgruntled voters.

Ramaphosa expressed concern during the meeting that some NEC members had not met their commitments towards campaigning for an outright majority and emphasized consequences for those who fail to meet campaign work targets.

US legislators threaten ‘consequences’ if SA arrests citizens for serving in Israeli army

Quick Glance: US Legislators Issue Warning Over Arrests of Citizens Serving in Israeli Army

Six US Congress legislators have cautioned President Cyril Ramaphosa that arresting dual South African-Israeli citizens who served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will have 'consequences for the US-South Africa relationship'.

The legislators, representing both Republican and Democratic parties, also questioned Ramaphosa about measures to protect Jewish South Africans from rising anti-Semitism and hostile statements by senior government officials.

The signatories include four Republicans - Joe Wilson, Maria Elvira Salazar, James Baird, and Michael Waltz - along with two Democrats, Jared Moskowitz and Josh Gottheimer.

US legislators seek responses from Ramaphosa and highlight potential 'dire consequences' if dual South African-Israeli nationals serving in the IDF are falsely accused.
