The article by David Lewis, “Election a test of Ramaphosa’s decisive leadership”, June 5, refers.

Cyril Ramaphosa espouses unity and renewal as his main themes for the ANC. The rise of the uMkhonto weSizwe party and the fall of ANC support to 40% both suggest that unity is elusive.

Renewal may still be possible if the ANC supports the establishment of a Chapter Nine anti-corruption body to end the kleptocracy that has brought it into disrepute. Tolerating corruption in the future will cause the ANC to shrink further.

A court order, not Ramaphosa interventions, ended the Russian nuclear adventure.
