Zimbabwe’s main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has congratulated South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa for being re-elected as leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) for a second five-year term in a party leadership contest.
Ramaphosa won 2,476 against his rival, Zweli Mkhize, a former party treasurer and health minister who garnered 1,897 votes from a total of 4,386 votes cast by party delegates from across the country.
Chamisa paid tribute to the elected ANC leaders and pledged to work with them to build Africa.
“Congratulations to HE Cyril Ramaphosa and Paul Mashatile for being elected President and Vice President of the ANC respectively. I also congratulate my brother and Cde Mbalula Fikile for being elected Secretary General. Let us build a New Africa! Mayibuye iAfrica,” he said.
Commenting on Ramaphosa’s victory, Richard Calland, a professor at the University of Cape Town told The Guardian that:
“Ramaphosa has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat … He was on the verge of resignation just weeks ago but has emerged stronger and more powerful. It is a remarkable turnaround,” he said.
Ramaphosa’s campaign for the past few days was marred with controversy. He was embroiled in a scandal which recently caused calls for him to step down as the country’s president over a corruption scandal.
He survived a vote to start impeachment proceedings against him last week over a parliamentary report that said he might have broken anti-corruption laws by keeping undeclared sums of money at his farm, a scandal now dubbed “Farmgate”.
The ANC leader however denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime over the so-called Farmgate scandal, but it has raised questions about how he acquired the money and why he didn’t declare it.

Norbert Emmanuel Dube the same with opposition parties in Zimbabwe!
Actually they are all in the image of Zanu pf!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka we wittiness the MDC A congress in Gweru 2019 they did it in a different way compared to ZANU PF, and I think we have only one genuine opposition part lead by Wamba dia Wamba in Zimbabwe the rest mahumbwe….
But Chamisa himself have never been elected to a party leadership?
Such a hypocrisy!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka you mean kana usingazvare haufanirwe kuti makorokoto kunenge ayita mwana here nhy murakashi…
Norbert Emmanuel Dube kuqala ekhaya!!
Charity begins @ home!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka but he is the leader of his part ,dd you put him there
Norbert Emmanuel Dube you are right when you say he is leader of “his party”!
His personal project not the people ‘s!
Thus where his bread is buttered!
Thus where hypocrisy is!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka kkkk which part in Zimbabwe is a people’s project or people’s part if it’s not CCC…
Norbert Emmanuel Dube thus shows a gulf between the people & the democracy!
On that regard it is formed in the image of Zanu pf , the only defference is the name !
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka thts your opinion hapana zvandinga zviita
Norbert Emmanuel Dube no its not my opinion!
Can you tell when he was elected in an elective conference??
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka thts Varakashi4ED language they want CCC to have Congress by all means bt I don’t know why Zanu pf is more interested in CCC Congress more than the Citizens…we see you #fakapressure
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka and may you tell me when was ED or Mwonzora elected in an elective congress…Coup presidency 🥱
Norbert Emmanuel Dube Mwonzora was elected in their last congress!
ED & Chamisa same whatsapp group!
People like you who follow blindly are the reason Zimbabwe is in a mess!
Political leaders should not be treated like sacred!
We saw that with Robert Mugabe!
All opposition parties in Zimbabwe or made in the image of Zanu pf!
& they Shiites like you!
SA is a more mature democracy than Zimbabwe, never mind it got it’s independence 14 years later.
They have rejected the politics of tribalism
No thanks! SA must vote the whole ANC out asap. Nothing to congratulate: another disaster
CCC should stop daydreaming that they have an ally in Ramaphosa..same fanana these guerilla movements.main agenda is to run down their countries.umhlangano succeeded and now ANC is working flat out to replicate
Dzodawo zvinhu idzo ngaaende kunoburitsa wiwa dumbu rambera muchitokisi
Hope he will also go fr elections
