RAMAPHOSA AND MABUZA TO MALEMA: COME BACK HOME

This article is about how President Cryril Ramaphosa and Deputy President David Mabuza on Suday extended an olive branch to EFF leader Julius Malema and others, urging them to return "home" to the ANC.

"We would love to have Julius Malema back in the ANC. He is still ANC down, deep his heart." said Ramaphosa. He also urged others to join the ANC. "The ANC is home of many political parties that splintered out of it ad we would like to build unity amongst all people."

Mabuza said earlier on Sunday he had a " special space in my heart" for Malema. "We had times together. He knows. When he was in the ANC, I supported him to be the president of the Youth League and I remember comrade Julius saying, 'My blood is black, green and gold. I will never leave ANC'." Mabuza added: I feel the ANC has lost in comrade Julius. The ANC will be better off with him inside the fold, so I am going to do my best to request him to consider coming back home."

Ramaphosa and Mabuza were on the campaign trail in Pretoria and Centurion on Sunday. The Electoral Commission (IEC) this weekend held a registration drive and address update campaign in preparation for the 2019 national and provincial elections.

Ramaphosa said the ANC was willing to work with political parties that had similar ideologies and policies to the ANC.
"I have always been open to receiving back those who left and formed new parties.". Ramaphosa said the ANC aimed to win back the Tshwane, Johannesburg and Nelson Mandela Bay metros in the general elections next year which they lost in the 2016 municipal elections.

I think that the ANC wanting Malema back is just a stunt derived to get more votes on the 2016 national elections. If it was true that they really wanted him back without a plan in mind to implement then they would have done it a long time ago. This is just a plan to get good with the public so that they can in the elections next year. As much as they are doing all the reminiscing about the good all days, highly doubt that Julius will fall victim to this trap. It is really a do or die and lloks like the ANC is going all out. Come next year!
