ANC takes City Press to ombud over 'We don't need white votes' report
18 March 2019
The ANC says it is heading to the Press Ombudsman over a City Press front-page report, titled "We don't need white votes".
The report focuses on the possibility of white voters giving their support to the ANC due to "Ramaphoria", the positive sentiment linked to Cyril Ramaphosa's position as ANC leader and state president.
The report quotes party secretary general Ace Magashule on the matter.
"Our hope is not based on colour, and therefore people cannot say that whites this time are going to vote ANC, as if blacks are actually not going to vote ANC," Magashule is reported to have said.
