Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa says he has no doubts that his party will emerge victorious in Wednesday’s national and provincial elections.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa cast his vote at the Hitekani Primary School in Chiawelo, Soweto, where he grew up.He voted at the school that was heavily guarded by police and presidential protection unit in front of local and international media.<\/p>\n

Appearing side-by-side with his wife Tshepo Motsepe, a confident Ramaphosa said South Africans will yet again install his party as the governing party.\u201cThe people of South Africa will give the ANC as they vote today a firm majority. So in my mind, in my head, in my thought processes there isn\u2019t even a doubt about that,\u201d said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

He said his party had run a successful campaign as all its leaders and former leaders criss-crossed the country canvassing votes.<\/p>\n

The under-siege ANC is defending itself from all fronts with several political parties hoping to eat a chunk out of the majority it has been enjoying since the advent of democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC under my leadership ran a formidable campaign. We went through the length and breadth of the country to reach out to our people and to also make those who may well have been doubtful about voting to be encouraged to vote,\u201d said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa said that democracy would be the biggest winner out of these elections and that he expects the ANC to be the biggest benefactor of this process.\u201cWe were rather pleased that we saw more and more young people registering to vote and we kept urging the people of our country that we want to run a clean campaign which we did and we are determined to ensure that democracy is the winner in this election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end it is the democratic process in our country that is going to emerge victorious and the ANC will reap a dividend from all that by emerging as the winning party.\u201d<\/p>\n
