Ramaphosa Receives Further Boost from ANC, Emboldened into New Year

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Daily Maverick today writes that Ramaphosa’s emboldened support at the ANC conference means he now has sufficient political capital to make serious policy moves going forward, and support for the President among the ‘Top Seven’ in the party may mean his second term is tilted far more in his favour relative to his first period in office.
  • ANC lawmakers that opted to defy the party on the Phala Phala Report vote are to be disciplined and have already received notification from the central office. The formal disciplinary process will be conducted next year.
  • News24 writes that SA’s provinces do not have contingency plans in the event of stage 8 load-shedding by Eskom. A DA report sees that load-shedding beyond stage 6 will mean there are no longer guarantees that critical services will be exempt.
  • No key data releases due Thursday, with few risk events on the docket ahead of year-end.
