South Africa election: Cyril Ramaphosa vows to tackle ANC corruption

South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has vowed to clean the African National Congress, ANC, of all bad tendencies in a bid to end corruption.

In a victory speech in Johannesburg, he thanked voters and said they had sent a clear message.

Mr. Ramaphosa said the party’s lowest ever score of 58 percent was due to voters expressing their frustration.

He promised he would not choose leaders who work to fill their own pockets.

The ANC has been in power since Nelson Mandela was elected, following the end of white-minority rule 25 years ago.
